I just receive my intervierer's CV and dd her on the linkedin.
Suprisingly I found that she was graduated from my high school. It is not a top / famous school in the city, and didn't had many graduates each year...
Thus I'm wondering, can I bring this up in the interview? If so, when? At the end?
Thanks:)!!
Hi,
You can just mention the school in the story about yourself. Don't mention though that you realize you both have the same background.
Best
Fully agree with Mathias
To answer the second part of your question, I would do it during the beginning of the interview. Maybe something like 'Hi it's so nice to meet a fellow alum of '...' Highschool!' And let the conversation flow from there.
Absolutely - you should definitely bring this up during the interview.
Part of the personal fit interview is your ability to make a meaningful connection with your interviewer (this is simulating a real client situation). This is considerably easier if you have a similar background or mutual interests.
