The exact change
"I can tell within the first two minutes whether a candidate has done serious preparation. The 'tell me about yourself' answer is the clearest signal. It tells me how they think about their own career and whether they understand what we're looking for." - Hiring Manager, enterprise software company
Many hiring managers can tell within the first two minutes whether a candidate has done serious preparation, and the 'tell me about yourself' answer is often the clearest signal. It reveals how a candidate thinks about their own career and whether they understand what the role calls for.
Suggested change
