You’ve Got The Interview – Now What?
Storytelling is key
The secret to standing out during your interviews is how you tell the story behind your experience and skills. Focus on what motivated your career journey, the skills you’ve gained along the way, and how your unique perspective can contribute to STARZ’s bold and creative culture.
Be bold with questions
Preparing great questions for your interviewer demonstrates your interest in the role and shows you have a learner’s mindset. Prepare thoughtful and unique questions beforehand that show off your acumen and your specific interest in STARZ. Plus, this is a chance for you to get to know us!
Do your research
Check out your interviewer on LinkedIn. Get familiar with your interviewer’s background and experience. Feel free to prepare any questions that are unique to them. Make sure you conduct thorough research and review job descriptions carefully to understand the scope and layout of our company and positions.
Know our culture
Get to know the ins and outs of life at STARZ by checking all our resources throughout the career site to understand what we value and how you would add to our culture.
Prepare to interview virtually
Choose a quiet area with good lighting and a background free of distractions. Test your tech beforehand by ensuring your audio and camera are properly functioning. Join on time, give 100% of your attention, and turn off distractions. Keep your camera on to strengthen the connection and communication.
Dress to impress
Your interview is an opportunity to leave a memorable first impression. We suggest selecting attire that makes you feel confident and ready to perform at your best.
Be authentic
Showing your genuine enthusiasm for the role is the best way to create a fantastic first impression in interviews. Authenticity is crucial for building trust and ensuring you’re representing your whole self.
Be mindful with AI (for preparation)
Using AI tools to help you prepare or draft materials like cover letters or applications may seem helpful, but be sure all information is accurate and truthful. Keep in mind the interviewer needs to assess your individual thoughts, experiences, and accomplishments – not AI’s.
Leave a Lasting Impression
- Take notes during your interview
- We encourage you to take notes during the interview to not only capture the question but highlight any insights from your interviewer. Use these during your follow ups to make it personal.
- Don’t wait on the thank you
- Prioritize sending a prompt and thoughtful thank you note to your recruiter to pass on to the hiring team. Use your notes to help recall discussion points afterwards to tailor your note.
- Follow Up
- Be sure to follow up with the recruiter for updates on your candidacy. This also shows your enthusiasm for the role!
