Job interviews can feel like a high-stakes game where every word counts and one wrong answer can mean the difference between landing an offer or getting rejected. To nail an interview, you need to learn how to communicate effectively, says LinkedIn career expert Andrew McCaskill. "Interviews are a performance art, and to perform well, you have to rehearse," he tells CNBC Make It. "The best interviewers are the people who have rehearsed their talking points with a mentor, a friend or even an old co-worker because that helps you feel confident and comfortable talking about yourself." All jobs might demand different skills, but there are a few strategies that will go over well no matter what position you're interviewing for.

Work can cause a great deal of stress. More than half, 57%, of workers report experiencing the impacts of work-related stress such as emotional exhaustion, low motivation and a desire to quit, according to the American Psychological Association's 2023 Work in America Survey. Whether or not a job ends up being stressful can be the result of a series of factors. A toxic boss, an overwhelming workload and a lack of flexibility can all play into your experience.

Your LinkedIn profile is a billboard for your career — to attract potential employers, it needs to be eye-catching and informative. "If you don't include the skills or keywords hiring managers are searching for on your LinkedIn profile, you're automatically disqualifying yourself from those opportunities," he explains. According to Jobscan, 87% of recruiters use LinkedIn to source and vet job candidates. People with five or more skills listed on their profile, LinkedIn reports, are contacted up to 33x more by recruiters and other LinkedIn members and receive 17x more profile views, than those with fewer skills listed. When recruiters search for job candidates on LinkedIn, they typically search for people by location, skills and other keywords in the role's description, McCaskill explains.

Millennials use workplace jargon the most, while Gen Zers are the most annoyed by it. But, Wilson warns, using too much jargon "can make you sound desperate to belong." Office jargon doesn't just confuse the people you want to impress — it can also exclude or even offend them in some cases. Amidst the office jargon, there are also phrases with culturally insensitive undertones like "low on the totem poll," McCaskill points out. You might not be able to avoid jargon completely, but deferring to simple, clear language — and limiting how often you're using corporate colloquialisms — is the easiest way to sound smarter at work, McCaskill says.

LinkedIn has published its annual "Jobs on the Rise" report for the US, highlighting hot fields.
