Learn about your interviewer

before you walk in the door.

Steal this prompt and use it on Perplexity:

“Research [Interviewer Name] at [Company]:

Find:

1.Their current role and responsibilities

2.Career trajectory (how they got to current role)

3.How long they’ve been at company

4.Education background

5.Any public content (articles, posts, talks)

6.Professional interests and expertise areas

7.Potential conversation starters or common ground

This helps me:

- Tailor my answers to their priorities

- Find connection points

- Ask informed questions

- Build rapport

Provide any publicly available professional information. “

I spent the last year building a “multi-tool” system specifically to help navigate the current job market. More info at jeffmoder.com

5/15 Edited to

When preparing for an interview, knowing your interviewer can provide a significant advantage. Beyond just looking at their LinkedIn profile, try to understand their professional interests and recent work they’ve done, such as articles, talks, or posts. This insight allows you to connect on a more personal level and shows genuine interest. For example, if you find your interviewer has expertise in a niche area, you can prepare to discuss how your skills align with that specialty. This demonstrates that you’ve done your homework and are enthusiastic about the role. Furthermore, understanding their career trajectory helps you anticipate the kind of experience and values they value most. If they’ve worked at a company known for innovation, highlighting your adaptability and creative problem-solving may resonate well. Engaging with publicly available content they've shared also opens the door to meaningful conversation starters. You might mention a recent post they wrote or a project they led, which can make the interview feel more like a collaborative discussion than a formal interrogation. In my experience, tailoring answers based on your interviewer’s background not only helps build trust but also improves your confidence during the interview. It shifts the dynamic to a more personalized interaction rather than a generic Q&A, increasing the likelihood of leaving a positive impression. Remember, the goal isn't to memorize every detail but to have relevant talking points and thoughtful questions ready. This approach enables you to adapt your responses to what matters most to your interviewer and company, enhancing your chances of success.
