When it comes to acing interviews, Adriane Schwager, CEO and co-founder of GrowthAssistant, has one key piece of advice for candidates at any level: show up prepared. Schwager has noticed a concerning trend that she recently shared with CNBC —many candidates aren’t doing their homework. She stresses the importance of understanding what the company actually does before stepping into the interview.
This lack of preparedness isn’t just an issue with entry-level candidates; Schwager has seen it more frequently at senior levels too. Whether they come through recruitment agencies or just fail to take initiative, candidates who don’t research are wasting time. Schwager advises spending a few minutes checking social media profiles, reading up on the company’s mission, and even referencing the interviewer’s social media. Doing a little prep work signals engagement and can set a great tone for the entire conversation.
