I’m in IT, and I haven’t had to interview for a long time (knock on wood), but when I did:

My approach has always been “Your company has a need, I have a certain set of skills. Let’s talk, so that I can understand more clearly what your need is, you can understand more clearly what my skills are, and we can decide together whether I would be a good person to fill that need.” Think of yourself as a consultant going in for a first meeting with a potential long-term client.

Replacing the fuel filter in my Triumph Rocket 3, in the hopes of making it run properly again. I may need to clean the idle air control valve, too. If I can’t figure it out, off to the dealer it goes.

Tangent:

I’m here through kbin, reading your post from beehaw. Reading “Now that we’re no longer linked …” made me go “We? I can see content from lemmy.world, sh.it, and beehaw just fine.”

Not trying to throw shade, just pointing out that even though the post absolutely recognizes the new landscape provided by the fediverse, it’s easy to stay in “old world” siloed modes of thinking.
