What to ask at the end of a job interview, and more tips to help you 'knock it out of the park'

Many Americans are quitting their jobs in a trend that has become known as the Great Resignation. Nearly 7.6 million people quit their jobs in April and May combined, according to the Labor Department. The large numbers of resignations are a sign people are confident they can find better work opportunities elsewhere, experts say.

"Do your research>'Don't memorize' responses

"Don't memorize answers to any common questions that make you nervous," tweeted Amanda Augustine, career expert at TopResume. "Instead, prepare a few words to jog your memory so your answer will sound confident, but not scripted," she suggested.

While memorization isn't recommended, rehearsing can still help, said Edwin. "Practice your responses beforehand! Yes, it should be conversational, but there are some standard questions you can expect, and practice improves your confidence," she tweeted.

Treat virtual calls 'like an in-person interview'

"Most interviews will be virtual for the time being — treat it like an in-person interview," tweeted Vicki Salemi, career expert for Monster. "Check technology/audio ahead of time, have a good internet connection, good lighting (like a Ring lamp), proper height for the lens."

Edwin also reminds that it's best to double check what video chat program the interviewer will be using. "DON'T assume it'll be Zoom," she tweeted.

"Do dress up (even for zoom interviews), but make sure you're aligned with the company's dress code. If they are more casual, a suit may not be it," tweeted Darrisaw.

To convey your strengths, 'show, don't tell'

While laying out your skills and strengths during the interview, Salemi suggests using "quantifiable examples like instead of saying you saved the company money, how much did you save & how? Show, don't tell."

Translating your value into numbers is a way to do that and can help you stand out as a candidate, Rewers previously told Grow. You might calculate how many hours of experience you have with a given task, for example, or tally the number of people who have been positively affected by your work.
