5. Prepare for a successful interview
Don’t skip the preparation and practice step before an interview. Learning about the company, the requirements of the job, the type of questions that can be asked in the interview, the competitors, or how to solve an issue are all critical to success. Practice your answers and when appropriate, ask questions. This shows that you are engaged with the company and the process. Remember, an interview is a two-way conversation, not an interrogation. Small details like appropriate dressing, eye contact, or pre-testing of equipment for an online interview will increase your chance of success.
