I've got a lot going on so didnt have time to add chapters to this video yet. For now, the flow is roughly 15 min each question in the order below:

1. How do you prep for an interview. (OSINT)?
2. What questions should you expect to be asked (and how to answer)?
3. What red flags should you be on the look for?
4. What questions should you ask the interviewer (and why)?

[Jesse_Johnson]

Get the head nod! I always look for those non-verbal clues when I am interviewing. Golden content as usual.

Just rewatched this one again... Lots of actionable info for my interview today. Prepare for the opportunity and nail it when when the opportunity presents itself.

Thanks for taking the time to make these videos 🤘🏻

[DocFleg]

[cyberja]

[zealforchrist]

Gerry M glad Your Channel flew Under my radar Man . It Got Them Depth Indeed. Thank you.

[TylerB_]

THANK YOU SO MUCH!! I just did great on my first InfoSec job interview thanks to this video.

[chicagofaneva]

Gerald, thank you again for another great video. I have an interview this week for a Cybersecurity Analyst position and this was right on time for what I need to do.

[isaacsalami]

You guys did a great job here. In analyzing possible questions during a cybersecurity interview.

However, I will possibly suggest in your subsequent interview sessions, it will be great if you could provide possible answers to the questions you mentioned. Like how best would a candidate answer the question, " What happened if you type a URL in your browser and hit enter?".

It will give a good perspective to learn from your wealth of experience. There are definitely many ways one could answer that, but giving a definite answer will help a great deal.

[CrazyCat]

Again can't thank you enough for this. Really helps!

[samarq]

Great tips, please don’t delete this video from your channel. I bet i am gonna need it after graduation 🤯❤️ thank you so much

[treylmtv]

I've not watched all of this yet and I know that a notepad is acceptable to bring but would bringing my iPad in with my notes be ok? I think it may be a bit much but I really like my notes on there.

[duncan]

Personally I would never go to an interview if I did not know what the pay was, there is some jobs that get advertised with no pay listed I ask and you find out a range maybe and they try to push you for interview but to me its a waste of time for me and them unless i know what they are willing to pay

[LORKASWE]

I feel the "revenue" question cold be dangerous, given it could look like I don't understand the position I'm applying for and its context in the business.

Some questions could make interviewers uncomfortable. You should never create a negative emotion during an interview. It is imperative to read the room and the mood (obviously).

[jamesdriscoll]

Great video. Question. As an introvert, interviews seem like interrogations and I just want to get it done and over with, so I forget to ask questions at the end. Is there a way to get past that?

[cmatz]

DO show off arm tattoos during interview. CHECK.

[NeoKurow]

They talked so much and said nothing... it's incredible... not a single short direct answer.
