Many Amer­i­cans are quit­ting their jobs in a trend that has become known as the Great Res­ig­na­tion. Near­ly 7.6 mil­lion peo­ple quit their jobs in April and May com­bined, accord­ing to the Labor Depart­ment. The large num­bers of res­ig­na­tions are a sign peo­ple are con­fi­dent they can find bet­ter work oppor­tu­ni­ties else­where, experts say.

With so many Amer­i­cans now on the job hunt, it’s smart to think ahead to nav­i­gat­ing the often-stress­ful inter­view process. Dur­ing a recent Grow Twit­ter chat, career experts shared their exper­tise on what to do and not do dur­ing a job inter­view.

Angelique Rew­ers, founder of Bold­Haus, a con­sult­ing firm that helps small busi­ness­es land cor­po­rate clients, for exam­ple, offered up her “best” end-of-an-inter­view ques­tion: “From your per­spec­tive, one year from now, what would be the great­est pos­si­ble impact I could have made on your orga­ni­za­tion if I excelled every sin­gle day in this role?”

Here’s more of her best advice, as well as top tips from recruiters, career coach­es, and job search strate­gists.

“Do your research on both the com­pa­ny and the per­son you are inter­view­ing with,” tweet­ed career coach Angeli­na Dar­ri­saw, the founder and CEO of C‑Suite Coach in Brook­lyn, New York. “Has this com­pa­ny been in the news late­ly? Have they won an award recent­ly? What are their val­ues? Drop in the research you’ve done into your inter­view to knock it out the park.”

Dr. Tega Edwin, founder of Her Career Doc­tor, agreed: “Don’t come in with­out know­ing what’s hap­pen­ing with the orga­ni­za­tion. Google them. What’s being said about them in the news, on social media, etc.?”

“Don’t mem­o­rize answers to any com­mon ques­tions that make you ner­vous,” tweet­ed Aman­da Augus­tine, career expert at TopRe­sume. “Instead, pre­pare a few words to jog your mem­o­ry so your answer will sound con­fi­dent, but not script­ed,” she sug­gest­ed.

While mem­o­riza­tion isn’t rec­om­mend­ed, rehears­ing can still help, said Edwin. “Prac­tice your respons­es before­hand! Yes, it should be con­ver­sa­tion­al, but there are some stan­dard ques­tions you can expect, and prac­tice improves your con­fi­dence,” she tweet­ed.

“Most inter­views will be vir­tu­al for the time being — treat it like an in-per­son inter­view,” tweet­ed Vic­ki Sale­mi, career expert for Mon­ster. “Check technology/audio ahead of time, have a good inter­net con­nec­tion, good light­ing (like a Ring lamp), prop­er height for the lens.”

Edwin also reminds that it’s best to dou­ble check what video chat pro­gram the inter­view­er will be using. “DON’T assume it’ll be Zoom,” she tweet­ed.

“Do dress up (even for zoom inter­views), but make sure you’re aligned with the com­pa­ny’s dress code. If they are more casu­al, a suit may not be it,” tweet­ed Dar­ri­saw.

While lay­ing out your skills and strengths dur­ing the inter­view, Sale­mi sug­gests using “quan­tifi­able exam­ples like instead of say­ing you saved the com­pa­ny mon­ey, how much did you save & how? Show, don’t tell.”

Trans­lat­ing your val­ue into num­bers is a way to do that and can help you stand out as a can­di­date, Rew­ers pre­vi­ous­ly told Grow. You might cal­cu­late how many hours of expe­ri­ence you have with a giv­en task, for exam­ple, or tal­ly the num­ber of peo­ple who have been pos­i­tive­ly affect­ed by your work.

Odds are good that you will be asked dur­ing the inter­view, “Do you have any ques­tions?” Hav­ing some ready is impor­tant, experts say.

Ask about the future of the com­pa­ny, sug­gest­ed Han­nah Mor­gan, a job search strate­gist at Career Sher­pa: “How is the com­pa­ny plan­ning for long-term changes that will occur in the indus­try over the next five years or so?”

Find out about the his­to­ry of the posi­tion you’re apply­ing for, Dar­ri­saw sug­gest­ed. “Is this a new role? If it is, how will you help sup­port me as I define suc­cess in this role? If not, what hap­pened to the last per­son in this posi­tion?” she tweet­ed. “The answers will be telling. Don’t for­get you’re inter­view­ing the com­pa­ny too.”

All the experts dur­ing the Twit­ter chat agreed that send­ing a thank-you note ASAP is strong­ly rec­om­mend­ed.

“You should fol­low up after an inter­view on the day of for sure! I would say by end of the day that day or the next morn­ing at the lat­est,” tweet­ed Edwin. “The can­di­dates who take time to send a care­ful­ly thought-out thank you note ALWAYS stand out,” she added.

Augus­tine agreed that with­in 24 hours of the inter­view is the prop­er time frame to email your note.

In addi­tion to thank­ing your poten­tial employ­er for their time, Rew­ers sug­gest­ed “includ­ing 3 to 5 bul­let points w/add’l thoughts you had imme­di­ate­ly fol­low­ing the inter­view, such as what you’re most look­ing for­ward to con­tribut­ing or what project you’re most excit­ed to take on should you be select­ed.”
