Having a polished CV and cover letter is one thing, but looking good on paper is different to face-to-face interaction.
Now according to a CEO, there's one question you should always avoid if you want to succeed during a job interview.
In a column for CNBC's Make It, RSE Ventures CEO Matt Higgins shared the piece of advice for job seekers.
He said: "Here's a piece of advice you likely won't hear from anyone else…
"Never ever ask an employer what their remote work policy is during the job interview."
The CEO went onto say how he is in favour of employees working in offices, as well as home.
But job cuts at the likes of Meta has led to remote working being removed for new hires at the Facebook owner.
He added: "As a CEO, investor and founder, I've learned a lot about dealing with uncertainty.
"After acceptance, the second rule of crisis management is survival – and landing a job in this soon-to-be cutthroat job market will require some finessing and compromising."

Matt went onto explain how certain questions in a job interview can create a certain perception.
And it's something which could be the difference between landing your dream job or getting a rejection letter.
He continued: "Whether it's fair or not, some managers will perceive initial interview questions about remote work as telegraphing the wrong priorities. Even for me, it's an immediate red flag.
"Imagine this scenario: You close your interview with a question about remote work and get a chilly reception.
"The next day, the hiring manager meets another candidate who says they could be in the office bright and early the next Monday morning.
"Sure, you may be more qualified. But there is a real chance that the other job seeker will be perceived as more committed.
"This might hold true even for managers at companies that have very robust remote work policies."
