"Every role has its own nuances on what people look for in candidates, but here are a few things I keep in mind interviewing potential candidates in my world."
- "One of the most important things I look out for in an interview is if they have initiative. Someone who can flourish in ambiguity will allow them to be adaptable to our ever-changing industry."
2."Candidates that explain how their past experiences translate to the current position they've applied to is essential. I'm adamant about hiring someone based on who they are and what their capabilities could translate as vs what specific title or role they've been in the past."
3."Ask questions!! I always pay attention to who is asking the right one 😉"
4."Share who your key relationships are - this helps an employer understand what network you could bring to the table."
5. " Lastly, I aim to find team players that aren't above smaller tasks to get the job done."
