How do you prep for interviews ?

How do I get past the AI companies are using to get a new job in a new field? I lost my career as a truck driver due to health reasons. twenty years down the drain. i was out of work for 3.5 months before taking a job from a temp agency. that pays just over minimum wage. I have worked in other industries prior to driving including owning a small business with 15 employees. I get refusals quickly almost every time I to a job I'm interested in. Any help or advise would be greatly appreciated.
I was a retail assistant manager for ~4 years, and I’m looking to pivot into a front desk/receptionist/admin position. I have some transferable skills—multitasking, time management, guest service, complaint resolution, communication, etc. I’m having a hard time finding anything. I’ve had interviews, and I’ve gotten a lot of green flags, but they always go with someone with experience. I’ve been told “keep applying, someone will give you a chance.” Any tips on what sector would be most likely to?
Hi everyone 👋 Currently exploring a move into tech sales after working in commercial sales within the Premier League. My background is mainly sponsorship sales, strategic partnerships and high-value commercial negotiations, and I'm now looking at AE opportunities in SaaS - especially companies like Salesforce. Long term, my wife is American so we'd also love to eventually move to the US. Would love to connect with anyone who's made a similar move or has advice on breaking into the industry.
How does one even begin to think to go back to work when life isn’t just lifing, you went through some really f’d up stuff… career pivot from customer service possible start but what low stress jobs hire people like me with a social anxiety and ptsd? Work from home are so hard to find but best option.
I go over the job description. Prepare my answers to at least answer two main questions using the STAR method. If you interview enough you just reuse & apply it to that specific role.
I recommend listening to Emma Grede’s Podcast. Her episode on How to Nail Your Next Interview was quite fantastic and valuable. Good luck!
Getting a career coach for a few sessions can really boost your confidence for interviews. They'll help you figure out what questions might come up and how to give genuine answers that make you shine without overdoing it.
use Ai to help you structure your answers paste the job description in a strong AI tool and prompt it to come up with a list of possible questions, then prepare the answers to those. a lot of recruitment teams get questions to interview candidates using AI, so just do the same thing as a candidate
I would look up the person(s) who will be interviewing me on LinkedIn (their role, what they post about related to their role/company, past work) and write 2-3 very specific, tailored questions for them for the end of the interview. Also, seconding prepping to answer questions in the STAR format.
