This is fantastic advice, Jen. I made the same mistakes Person B made earlier in my career because I didn't know any better. For a long time, I saw interviews as one-directional. I didn't start landing jobs until I treated interviews as mutual matching opportunities.

Thanks, Alvin!

I noticed the pattern of what worked in interviews and what didn’t.

The game changes when people move from get to give mode, on both the hiring manager and job seeker sides.
