Nailing a VTS interview - What to do?
It can be quite nerve-wrecking to walk into an interview and not know where to begin. Oftentimes, candidates struggle to present themselves successfully during these virtual/in-person meetings due to anxiety or overthinking.
Having been (at least once at some point) in your shoes, we have put together a few tips to help you navigate your way around the pre-meeting jitters.
These tips are applicable for all interviewing roles at Vietnam Tech Society, as well as a variety of roles out there that you might be in conversation with.
Should you require further practice, don’t forget to reach out to us at info@vietnamtechsociety.org, or book a meeting with one of our mentors on https://techsphere.app/ to get immediate, industry-specific guidelines.
Be prepared:
Show us that you know about Vietnam Tech Society. A quick Google search or scroll on Facebook/LinkedIn can for sure tell you about our organization. Dive deep into our mission, vision, value and product and determine how compatible we are to your own personal principles. Besides, we are also interested in learning why you chose us instead of many other NGOs/communities.
Be concise:
When thinking about your responses, we recommend using the “S.T.A.R method”. You can also make your projects, past experience and examples stand out by tying in some type of measurable outcome or providing relevant data/metrics.
Be punctual:
Showing up on time to an interview, whether it be online or in-person, is a way to show respect, not only to your interviewers, but also to yourself. This will also show the interviewers that you are eager and serious about joining our organization. Not to mention, showing up early (or even right on the dot) also gives you time to prepare yourself, have a sip of water and calm your nerves.
**We recommend that you show up at least 10-15 minutes before your allotted time with your resume and portfolio ready for show-and-tell should you be required to.
Be yourself:
One of the things that we highly encourage within VTS is to bring your whole self to work, which can include showing us both your strengths and weaknesses. This is because we want to get to know you and what makes you so uniquely you.
