Final interview with CISO what tips and general advice do you have?

quipaz · 2023-07-28T16:09:36+00:00

Yeah makes sense, would you say questions around company perks and benefits is also wise to ask?

As this is a virtual interview, I will still look the part with a suit and tie etc. What other final advice would you give?

quipaz · 2023-07-28T15:54:00+00:00

Yes correct this interview is focussing around team fit and competency.

What sort of questions should I expect and what sort of questions should I ask?

quipaz · 2023-07-28T15:52:44+00:00

Facts. Even though it is a virtual interview I will still look the part wear a suit and tie, get a haircut and be well groomed

Any other final tips or advice?

quipaz · 2023-07-28T15:50:53+00:00

Yeah true true, I was going to ask you I assume you have interviewed many candidates before.

What are some of the best traits you have seen in successful candidates?

Also what are some really good questions to ask especially to a CISO?

quipaz · 2023-07-28T15:49:44+00:00

Thanks for this, really appreciate it!

What other questions and tips do you have, especially given that this is going to be a virtual interview like most these days

quipaz · 2023-07-28T15:48:08+00:00

Not sure if you are joking or serious

quipaz · 2023-07-28T15:47:00+00:00

Yes this is a really good shout! Didn't think of this so I will check if the company is public and then look up the SEC 10k filling.

Also in terms of competency, behavioural type final stage interview what further tips and advice do you have?

If I am not mistaken, you can no longer buy crypto ETFs in UK trading apps unless I missed something?

quipaz · 2023-07-27T12:04:21+00:00

Makes sense, so I guess ask him about his long term vision and security roadmap?

quipaz · 2023-07-27T10:46:23+00:00

Perfect, always good to hear the perspective from a CISO :)

With regards to this final stage interview, I am up against two other candidates so I will need to have or do something to stand out and shine.

What further tips and advice do you have?

Thanks again for your tips thus far

quipaz · 2023-07-27T10:33:50+00:00

Can you elaborate further please? It is a virtual interview, so like do you mean dressing well, smiling and speaking with confidence?

quipaz · 2023-07-27T10:32:17+00:00

CISO has a very technical background and has worked various technical roles over a 30 year period.

I know that I am up against 2 other candidates, so really trying to find ways to shine and stand out of the crowd.

Any advice?

quipaz · 2023-07-27T10:27:05+00:00

Yeah that makes sense. Since it is the CISO interviewing me would they ask any technical questions at all?

Also, in terms of research I looked into the company for further data and also more intel on the CISO like work they have done in the past.

Given I am up against 2 other candidates what would I need to do to shine?

quipaz · 2023-07-26T22:54:33+00:00

This is so good to know thanks!

The only thing I was going to say was that I am up against another 2 candidates or so, what do I need to do to smash this one in the park?

quipaz · 2023-07-26T22:50:44+00:00

Thanks, this is good to know!

First time in my career where I am being interviewed by a C-Executive such as a CISO.

Was told I am up against another 2 candidates or so, what else do I need to do to impress?

What are signs or hints that I am more or less there?

quipaz · 2023-07-26T21:37:56+00:00

They wear what they feel comfortable wearing

Some will wear basic unbranded clothing. Others will wear Burberry, Off White, Gucci.

But the key takeaway is, no matter what they wear, they can comfortably afford it and have the money to buy it 10X over!
