Interview Advice from Scott Morris - 2nd round Interviews

Happy New Year WSO -

As January is typically a busy interviewing time for young professionals, I asked Scott Morris to provide some interview advice. In this Q&A, Scott shares how to follow-up after your first round interview, and if you get a second round, what to expect.

If you want some extra practice and a candid critique from a Wall Street professional, Wall Street Mentors is for you. Please email us to find out more. We also offer personalized consultations, in which a Wall Street Mentor can provide you with interview prep and a strategy for best marketing yourself.

Hope this Q&A is helpful and for all those getting ready for interviews - good luck!

I agree on the first part. On the second part, I see what you're saying, but I do think it's good hearing slightly different things from different people, even if it's not completely new. Every perspective we get on the process helps us just that much more.

Nice one, thanks Chris!
