Top Tips to Master Your Technical Interview at Raytheon Technologies
💎 Get ready to master your technical interview! Tune in to catch three top tips to prepare before applying for a position at Raytheon Technologies.
📼 These tips from Elisabeth Hosmer, Associate Director of Program Management at Raytheon Intelligence and Space will help you master your technical interview when applying for a position at the company.
📼 Tip #1: Slow Down - The first of Elisabeth's top tips to master a technical interview is to really give each question you're asked, enough time for you to formulate the answer you want to share. Don't feel rushed. And if you feel like you need some time to collect your thoughts, let the interviewers know that. The team at Raytheon respects the fact that you want to give some consideration to your answer before jumping in!
📼 Tip #2: Come Prepared - In order to master your technical interview, it's important to remember that not only is Raytheon interviewing you for a potential role, but you're interviewing the company as well. So show up with questions about not only the role, but the company culture too, and what you hope to gain from joining the organization. In Elisabeth's words, so often they have candidates who, when offered the opportunity for them to ask questions, come up blank. It's very important for Raytheon to see you are as invested in the interview, as they are, by coming with some prepared questions!
One Last Key Tip To Master Your Technical Interview With Raytheon
The third tip is simply to OWN IT: what does Elisabeth mean by that? Show up knowing what you can bring to the organization, and be confident in what you've learned in your prior roles and education, and in what you can do that makes you a difference maker for the company. Everybody has a unique story and skill set. And when you show confidence in what you are capable of doing, as well as humility and where you know you need to continue to grow, you appear as a candidate excited to join the organization who in the future can be just so effective in their new role.
