The first five minutes of a job interview can make or break your odds of landing an offer. Some interviewers might even ask you to stand up during a video call, to check that you're wearing professional attire. Do your homeworkMost people will do basic research on the job they're interviewing for, but few will go the extra mile and become knowledgeable about the company's latest developments or the person they're speaking with. Vanderbloemen says he's "always impressed" when a candidate has done their homework about the recruiter or interviewer and is up to date on the company's latest news. "If you can show the interviewer in the first 5-10 minutes of the conversation that you invested some time studying this company, you're going to go a long way," says Vanderbloemen.
