When should I say "I am familiar with"? When should I say "I am profficient at"? When can I call myself an expert or SME?

When you apply for jobs, there is usually a marker for time worked at 1-2 years, 5+ years, and 10+ years. At what point should I qualify myself as familiar, profficient, or an expert? Does having a credential help lessen the time required to be considered an expert?

How should I prepare for an interview for an on campus job?

I’m really eager to land an office assistant role on my campus. While I always do my best in interviews—maintaining good eye contact, staying calm, and speaking steadily—I've noticed that even though they seem to like me, I haven't been selected yet. I appreciate any advice or tips that could help me improve and succeed in these opportunities. Edit: I got the job! Just waiting to hear back about training. Thank you all for the advice!

How do you obtain your first job ?

I'm a recent college graduate (AA in General Studies) and trying to get into dental hygiene school, but I want to save up some money first. I am a hard worker who performed quite well academically, but I have been unsuccessful so many times in getting even a minimum wage, part-time job. I either get ghosted, or I receive a rejection letter. I even tried to simplify my resume, so I don't look overqualified, but maybe it's because I just don't have experience? I'm pretty stressed about this.

What would you say is an unconventional/untraditional but important skill that is helpful to have for someone interested in becoming an actuary or in a business-related field? It could be for during interviews or in the job setting. #Spring26

I am currently a high school senior, about to major in actuarial science in the fall. I think this question is a fun question to ask to understand a work environment a little bit more.

How can I rebuild my career after a 3-year gap and transition into a stable field aligned with my Bachelor's in Electronics Engineering despite having 1 year of experience in a different industry?

Hello, I have done a bachelor's in electronic engineering in 2022 after I was forced to do a job in the petroleum field as a business development executive, which I left because of some personal reasons (TBH: I went into depression). Now I have been unemployed for the past 3 years and am confused about moving forward. How can I explain my 3-year gap to anyone hiring me?

What questions should I ask at the end of an interview?

I’m trying to decode a specific interview technique my mother uses. She claims that 'spinning the table' at the end of an interview is her secret to success, often leaving the panel momentarily speechless before they offer her the role. I'm looking for advice on how to effectively pivot the conversation to focus on the company's internal "pain points" or strategic needs. What are some "killer" questions that achieve this?

What to do now, I mean how lucky I am?

So I got a job as a SDR, signed a contract and they in the middle of the summer before starting they fired me because they thought I wasn’t professional. The thing is that a sales manager interviewed me and the interview went pretty well and we had a nice conversation. The thing is that my relationship with that other company didn’t end so well, I think even the manager wasn’t to happy with my persona. The thing is that I now am interviewing for another SDR position, and they have the same manager(who this time works in house and thought his agency like the first time). Now, I really want this job and I’ve successfully passed the CV screening and the first round of interview with them. The impression was positive and honestly it’s the only good job lined up that I have. Now what should I do? Address the situation? Tell him that things have changed? Tell him nothing and hope he doesn’t remember( I just had a talk with him, he didn’t interview me and again it was pretty nice) but the things with the first company ended pretty bad too. Please tell me, because I can’t get enough of this and I really wanna have this job. Update: I had the interview and it couldn’t have gone better. Literally, he asked me a bunch of questions and I totally aced them. We had a few laughs and it honestly felt like a normal and pleasant conversation, he even asked why I was so serious ahhahaha. Usual conversational questions. Honestly he seems like a great guy to work for, I did some research and he is a pretty big guy on sales management so I am sure that working with him will make me a great sales rep. I also mentioned one of his LinkedIn posts. Repeat, I think I aced it, he told me about the challenges of the role in detail and pretty much sold the company to me. Also he told me openly that there were several things that he liked about me. He didn’t know about the incident on my previous company. He just asked why I left and I told him that it was because I wanted to explore new places that were oriented at marketing and that were a better fit for my professional background. I forgot tho to ask about compensation and I dm him on LinkedIn They should get Back to me with an interview with the CEO after the holidays. Based on those indicators would you say it’s any good? I literally hate job search so I want to get the job.

How do you respond to "tell me a bit about yourself" professionally?

I've been asked this a lot recently in scholarship applications, and I never know how to respond in a way that sounds professional. Starting with "my name is..." feels redundant when your application already has it listed. I just have no idea how to start.

How do I pass an interview?

I've done multiple interviews, I'm on a rejection streak, and I am in the dumps because of it. It seems to me like my resume and application is good enough to be offered an interview but when it comes to the interview, I choke up. I know everyone says to just be yourself, but i don't know how to do that. I'm not putting up a facade for these interviews, I think the problem is I don't know how to sPeAk and improv on the spot. I go to the interview practiced and prepared but it ends in agony and I don't know how to fix that. HELP.
