I've interviewed 100+ people. Here's what works And What doesn't “What you say (and don't say) can make or break your chances.” Many candidates miss opportunities due to simple missteps. Here are the interview dos and don'ts. Dos ✅ Show Interest ↳ Demonstrate genuine curiosity. ✅ Stay Confident ↳ Highlight your strengths. ✅ Acknowledge Weakness ↳ Show self-awareness. ✅ Be Prepared ↳ Prove you're ready. ✅ Long-Term Mindset ↳ Show commitment. ✅ Work Flexibility ↳ Inquire professionally. ✅ Coachability ↳ Value feedback. ✅ Stay Positive ↳ Focus on solutions. ✅ Show Commitment ↳ Emphasize dedication. ✅ Stress Management ↳ Highlight resilience. Don'ts ❌ "I don’t have any questions." ↳ Shows lack of interest. ❌ "I'll take any job right now." ↳ Signals desperation. ❌ "I don't have any weaknesses." ↳ Sounds arrogant. ❌ "I'll figure it out as I go." ↳ Suggests unpreparedness. ❌ "This is a stepping stone for me." ↳ Indicates short-term focus. ❌ "What's your work-from-home policy?" ↳ Prioritizes flexibility too early. ❌ "I don't like taking direction." ↳ Shows resistance to guidance. ❌ "I hate my current boss." ↳ Comes off as negative. ❌ "What time do people leave?" ↳ Seems uncommitted. ❌ "I don't handle stress well." ↳ Suggests you'll crack under pressure. Mastering these points can significantly improve your interview performance. Remember, it's not just about qualifications, it's about presentation. Your approach can set you apart.

Well put, Yaser
Stop writing boring hooks. Do this instead. (5 formulas to make your hooks irresistible) 90% of your post’s success is decided here. Hooks aren’t luck; they’re science. What if your hooks could stop the scroll every time? After studying top viral posts, Here’s the truth. I’ve tested every hook style: → Long hooks. → Short hooks. → Stats, stories, quotes. These 5 formulas always win: → How I… (“How I 10X’d my salary in 6 months.”) → How To… (“How to fix boring hooks in 30 seconds.”) → Start a Story (“I almost quit LinkedIn. Then THIS happened…”) → Quote (“Gary Vee said . Here’s why he’s right.”) → Statistic (“92% of posts fail here. Don’t be them.”) 20 Power Words to Borrow: → Fear/Urgency: “Warning,” “Do Not,” “Last Chance.” → Authority: “Proven,” “10X,” “Secrets.” → Curiosity: “Rare,” “Nobody Tells You,” “Behind the Scenes.” Formatting Hacks to Avoid the “See More” Cutoff: → Spacing: [Line-Gap-Line] > [Line-Line-Line]. → Length: Line 1 & 2: ≤62 characters (fits mobile!) → Line 3: ≤50 characters (no spillover!) → Keep It Simple: No emojis. No bold. Just curiosity. BONUS: → 10 Done-For-You Templates (e.g., “The #1 mistake [your industry] makes…”) → 7 Creators Who Nail Hooks (steal from Justin Welsh, Lara Acosta, etc.) 🚨 PS: Organic growth is still possible, but only if you stand out. Use these hooks now or get buried later. 👇 Comment “HOOKS” and I’ll send you the PDF version! (Or follow Yaser for more cheat sheets.) PPS: Hate writing hooks? I use Depost AI to generate 5 viral hooks in 1 click (link in comments). I use it daily to crush writer’s block. 👇 “HOOK ME” for the free cheat sheet.

Want more engagement on LinkedIn? (Most people overcomplicate LinkedIn.) After analyzing 400+ viral posts, I found the winning formulas. Here they are - with examples: 1. The Awareness Post Goal: Stop scrollers with a thought-provoking hook ↳ Formula: "If you can work 8 hours for someone else's dream... you can spend 60 minutes on yours." ↳ Uses contrast + calls out a universal truth 2. The Personal Story Post Goal: Build connection through vulnerability My exact structure: ↳ Hook: "I almost quit my business last year..." ↳ Struggle: "80-hour weeks, zero freedom" ↳ Turning Point: "Then I tried..." ↳ Results: "Doubled revenue in 3 months" ↳ Lesson: "Burnout isn't required for success" 3. The Education Post ↳ Goal: Position yourself as an expert ↳ Pro Tip: Teach ONE actionable concept per post ↳ Example: "3 Hiring Mistakes That Cost Me $50K" 4. The Conversion Post ↳ Goal: Turn followers into clients ↳ Magic Ingredients: ↳ Customer success story ↳ Specific results ("Increased conversions by 200%") "This could be you" implication 5. The "How We Do It" Post ↳ Goal: Showcase your unique methodology ↳ Example Framework: ↳ Problem most miss ↳ Our unusual approach ↳ Why it works (data/story) Want the full breakdown? 🔗Swipe the carousel for templates, visuals, and my free Business Strategy Checklist 💬 Which format will you try first?
