Let me tell you about my famous beer test. If everything during the interview went well on the professional side, usually after the interview I ask myself one question, would I sit with this person for a beer and will I enjoy it? If the answer is yes, you're hired. Let me tell you a few tips about interviewing for Bob. First of all, bring your authentic self. This means bring your own personality. If you're asked the question that you don't know, don't try to guess it, just say I don't know it. Another tip I can give you is first of all, you're coming to interview for Bob, read about us. The internet is full with information about what Bob is doing and what the industry is doing and who are our main competitors. If you can also study about our competitors, this will give you an edge. As for my last tip, I would recommend to research about your interviewer. This means you can go into his LinkedIn, Facebook, read some medium articles and research your stuff. This gives me or you as the candidate an edge that you can use to break the ice during the interview and maybe qualify and get hired.
