10 LinkedIn Post Ideas for Interview Tips
Interview content works well mixed because it serves candidates and interviewers, who often want different things from the same topic. A carousel can lay out a structured answer framework, but a text post about the interview question that stumped you, or a poll asking whether candidates should ask about salary in the first interview, taps into real, current anxiety and curiosity in a way a framework can't. Story posts work especially well here since interviews are inherently narrative — a specific exchange, a moment the tone shifted — and that texture gets lost in a bullet-point carousel.
The Post Ideas
A text-only post about the interview question that stumped you, and what you'd actually say if asked it again today
A poll: "Should candidates ask about salary in the first interview, or wait until later in the process?"
A contrarian take: "'Tell me about yourself' isn't a warm-up question. It's often the moment interviewers decide the most."
A story post narrating one specific interview, start to offer, including the moment you felt it turn in your favor
A "things I wish I knew" list: 5 interview lessons that only became clear after being on the other side of the table
A behind-the-scenes post showing your actual interview prep notes or the questions you always ask at the end
An ask-your-audience post: "What's the best (or worst) interview question you've ever been asked, and how did you answer it?"
A myth-busting post: 3 interview 'rules' that don't actually match what most interviewers are looking for
A milestone post reflecting on how your interview approach changed between your first job and your most recent one
A quick-tip post: one specific way to answer a question you don't know the answer to without losing credibility, under 100 words
Why It Works
Interviews are inherently narrative — a specific exchange, a pause, a moment the tone shifts — and that texture is exactly what gets lost when interview advice is reduced to a bulleted framework. A story post about one real interview preserves that texture and tends to be more memorable than another 'top 10 questions to prepare for' carousel. This topic also naturally reaches two audiences, candidates and interviewers, and a poll or contrarian take can speak to the tension between them (like whether asking about salary early is reasonable or premature) in a way that engages both sides in the comments.
Tips for Post Ideas About Interview Tips
Use carousels for structured answer frameworks (like STAR); use story posts for the texture of an actual interview exchange
Write some interview content from the interviewer's side occasionally — it broadens your audience and adds credibility
Frame interview polls around genuinely contested candidate questions, like salary timing, rather than settled etiquette
Keep quick-tip posts narrow to one specific, awkward moment (not knowing an answer) rather than general interview advice
