Second round interview next week! I find these the hardest because I’ve already said everything about myself and asked all my questions in the first interview! What are your hacks for a good 2nd interview? I’m meeting the CEO so I don't want to mess it up. 😬

Lately, some recruiters are requesting references before the final interview. As candidates, it takes effort to reach out to referees, and it creates false hope if the application is later rejected. This has happened a few times recently, especially with newer recruiters. References should only be checked when you're a final contender. Has anyone else experienced this?

I'm interviewing in a few days for a project management position at an engineering firm, but I'm blanking on what questions I can ask them when we get to that part. I already know why the position is vacant and what the work entails - what else can I ask??

I recently completed my Postgraduate IT qualification at EIT (Auckland) and I hold a Post-Study Work Visa valid for 1 year. I also bring 2 years’ Project Management experience in an IT product company in Sri Lanka (delivery coordination, stakeholder communication, reporting, risks/issues, and supporting end-to-end delivery). I’m open to permanent, fixed-term, or contract roles and can interview at short notice.

Take home assignments yea or nay? I got to the third interview for a job I'm suited for, as in the exact experience and a portfolio that has the same work as I'd be doing and they asked me to do a 3-part assignment (case study, audit, creative idea). It'll take me at least 4-5 hours if I do it quickly, but that's not going to be my best work. What should my approach be here - do it, send work I have alreadt done that is similar? How long would you/should you spend on take-home assignments?

I have my very first job interview after applying for about five months, and with the interview happening next Monday, I’m honestly not sure how to prepare myself or what steps I should take to feel more confident and ready.
