Sverre and Hanna discuss common mistakes job seekers make during interviews, particularly the tendency to «talk themselves out of it.» They explore how candidates often give long, unfocused answers or misunderstand questions, offering practical advice to avoid these pitfalls. The importance of clear and concise communication and the value of preparation using tools like ChatGPT and the STAR method are emphasised. The podcast episode also highlights the need for candidates to understand the interviewer's intention and provide relevant answers, while also incorporating pauses to facilitate a better conversational flow.
