"Interview Tip"
How would you answer the question "Why Shouldn't I Hire You?"
“If you are younger, you may want to use inexperience.” This shows honesty and trustworthiness. Additionally, you can follow this up with, “So I am hungry to learn.”
Also, some are using this technique with success. It is out there but it could be a game changer. Print a card that says "If I get asked the question "Why Shouldn't I Hire You with the answer "Sometimes I over-prepare," and hand it to the interviewer. I know, it is out there. What do you think about it? #AWU #disability #interviewtip
Share your Career Goals
Your career goals are more than just personal ambitions. They illustrate how you envision your professional growth within the organizations you work for.
Strike a balance between your goals and the company’s mission and explain how they connect. Otherwise, you might come off as overly self-focused or disconnected from the company culture.
Keep it brief, you may lose your interviewer’s interest, dilute your impact, or show a lack of self-control by going on and on. Practice what you want to say before the interview. #AWU #disability #interviewtip

Following an Interview it is respectful to write a "Thank You" email to your Interviewer no later than 48 hours afterwards. In my opinion, the sooner the better.
This can help you make a good impression on the hiring manager and show your interest and enthusiasm for the job. Sending a thank you letter can also give you an opportunity to highlight your skills, address any concerns, or provide additional information that you forgot to mention during the interview.
Here is a sample thank you letter that you can use as a reference:
Subject line: Thank you for the interview
