1. Use case studies
The easiest thing you can do to impress a hiring manager is outline past success in a clear order stating
- what the problem was
- what you did to solve it
- what the results were.
The more numbers you use, the easier it is to see the impact of your work.
Mentioning the tools you used also helps showcase your expertise.

2. Avoid Jargon
It’s really easy to slip into jargon or acronyms when you’ve been immersed in your work.
Using jargon can alienate a hiring manager and sour the interview in their minds.

3. Don‘t insult the work you are taking over
The hiring manager has likely started some of the work you’ll be taking over so avoid criticising it during your interview.
Instead, offer suggestions. Example: “to build on your work, I think adding xyz would make a huge impact.”

4. References are key
One of the best ways for a manager to feel comfortable with hiring you is to have excellent references, especially if it’s someone they already know.
To find references:
- Check the hiring manager’s Facebook and LinkedIn profiles and see if you have mutual connections.
- Offer references proactively during your interview
- Always give your references a heads up first.
