The first F2F interview
Congrats, You Made It to the Second Round! You passed the screening call. Now comes the face-to-face. Here's how to walk in prepared instead of panicked. Before You Walk In Arrive on time — not early. Ten minutes before is the sweet spot. Show up half an hour early and you'll end up sitting awkwardly in a lobby while your interviewer, who is booked back-to-back, feels quietly pressured to come get you. Double-check the format. Confusing a Zoom interview with an in-person one

The first job interview phone call
The First Call: How to Handle the 15-Minute Screen Before anyone invites you in for a real interview, someone from the company will want a quick call — usually 15 minutes, by phone or Zoom — to get to know you a little.

It is very easy for a scheduling email to get buried, land in spam, or get skimmed and mistaken for

Interviews
Do Your Homework — and Learn the STAR Method Two things separate a candidate who's clearly prepared from one who's winging it: the research they did before walking in, and how they structure their answers once they're sitting down. Research the Company Properly You want them to see that you put in real effort. Start with the website and the mission statement, then go further: Google them. New funding round, new product launch, new executives, press coverage — any of it gives

Submitting your CV
● Referral links — A lot of companies have a referral program. It’s a win-win for everyone. You get a job, and your friend gets a prize (usually a bonus). People in Israel are HAPPY to give you their direct referral link/submit your CV directly. Because Israel is a TINY country, try to find someone you know who works there or a friend’s friend’s cousin who works there (you get my drift 😏). If they know you personally, give them a draft they can attach with their referral; it

Using LinkedIn to your advantage
LinkedIn Is NOT Facebook LinkedIn is the most powerful networking tool you have — if you use it properly. Most people don't. They set up a profile, leave it half-finished, and wonder why nothing happens. Here's how to fix that. Your Profile Profile picture One of my biggest pet peeves is people with no profile picture. This is a social network — why are you hiding? 😂 You have a smartphone. Find good lighting and take a decent photo. A friend of mine had an old photo where he

Job hunting
Job hunting is a job itself; trust me, I know. You can spend over 8 hours of your day looking and researching. Make sure not to burn yourself out! ● Don’t put all your eggs in one basket — I’ve learned this the hard way. I was at the 7th stage of the interview, and I thought I would get the job. A few days later, I got the dreaded phone call; they went with the other candidate. I had invested a lot of time, travel time, energy, research, and resources to get to this stage, an
