Best practices for interviews

1. Set clear expectations before the interview

• Define the role: Review the intern’s profile and ensure you understand the required skills and qualifications.
• Prepare questions: Focus on assessing relevant skills, adaptability to remote work, and a growth mindset.

• Reassure candidates that it’s okay to be nervous, especially if this is their first interview.
• Start with light, friendly questions to help them relax.
• Keep the conversation personable and engaging rather than overly formal.

      3. Share insights about your company and team

• Highlight your team culture and how the intern’s role contributes to the bigger picture.
• Discuss mentorship and learning opportunities available during the internship.

       4. End with clear next steps

• Explain what to expect after the interview, including decision timelines.
  • “We’ll discuss internally and get back to you at the earliest. Please look out for email notifications in your inbox and your intern’s dashboard.”
• Encourage candidates to ask questions to demonstrate interest and build a connection.
