Also, I ####ed up on the pre-interview question with one...undercut my salary expectation by about 5% for the actual role. Rookie.
I found virtual interviews great as I could have notes available. I used the built in MS postit app and had my opening, all my example stories, reminders for anything technical, how to answer the money question or similar, and a list of questions I have for them. This was just enough for me to cue from but not read word for word so it was obvious.

You’ve got the answers already but I’d say it’s a differentiator. It also gives you a chance to drive home your strengths and why you are the right fit.

Last year when I was searching for my next gig I found this guy’s YouTube channel. I found many of his videos useful.
