How can I improve my interviewing skills for a revenue operations role?

As the Interviewee:

1. Have a list of interview questions that you tend to be asked (or Google Rev Ops Interview questions for ideas), and have examples from your work or studies that you can share as part of your response that highlight your skill and understanding of the role.

2. Get comfortable answering questions using the STAR method. It is a good framework for sharing examples so that you have clear and concise answers.

3. As you're interviewing, write down any questions that you stumbled over in an interview. Figure out what your answer will be if you're asked the same question in the future.

4. Think about your wants/needs for a future role. Develop questions to ask during the interview to determine if the role/company is right for you. Interviews are about you finding the right role as much as they are about a hiring manager filling a role.

5. Before your interview, review the job description and the company. Identify the parts of your work experience/resume that you want to summarize in 30 - 60 seconds in response to the inevitable "Tell me about your work history" question. (You don't have to summarize every job -- keep your initial response short and tactical. You can always expand if asked.)

6. Once you've done your prep work, relax.

As the Interviewer:

1. Make sure that your questions are clear, especially for non-native speakers. Avoid colloquialisms. Vet the questions with colleagues to see if they understand what you're asking.

2. Have a list of questions that you ask all interviewees. You don't have to ask every question, but make sure that you have a few you ask consistently so you can truly evaluate candidates' strengths and weaknesses.

3. In concert with #2, build your questions primarily off of a job description for a role. Crafting the questions for your interview shouldn't be a night-before-the-interview endeavor.

4. Practice responses for candidate questions regarding the company, work environment and/or team. Sometimes you need to be diplomatic, but honest.
