Frequently Asked Questions

Is one portion of the interview score weighted more than another?

No. All of the scores are equally valued out of a typical five point system. Each portion of the interview process is scored separately and does not carry more weight than any other part. Tip: When you proceed to the second round of interviews, remember that your score is back at zero, and everything you do now is looked at from a clean slate. This gives you the opportunity to take the feedback you were given and put it in to action. The interviewers need to see that you can take constructive criticism and immediately apply it.

If I get confused or lost during the interview what should I do?

There is nothing wrong with asking your interviewer to repeat themselves. In fact they'd prefer that you do ask them to clarify anything you don't fully understand. Although they cannot give you the answer, your interviewer will gladly repeat anything they said that you didn't understand and work with you to keep you on the right track.
