Interview Dos and Don’ts from a Cybersecurity CEO
By Craig Hinkley, CEO, WhiteHat Security
A job interview is your chance to show a potential employer how you can succeed in the role and at the
company. A preliminary interview is essentially an audition for the job, and it also doubles as a glimpse
into your work and who you are. If the interview is well-received, you will often make it to the next step to
meet with the higher ups who will decide if you’re the ideal fit for the role.
A positive interview doesn’t just happen by accident. To be successful, candidates are required to
carefully research, plan and prepare diligently. There are proactive steps that they can take at every step
of the process to increase their chances of success: from pre-interview research and perfecting their first
impressions to learning how to expertly navigate challenging questions and knowing how to conduct post-
interview follow-up.
