How to Prepare for a Job Interview

Preparing for an interview can be challenging, especially since each company may have their own approach. While there’s no one-size-fits-all method, here are some of my top tips and tricks to help you feel confident and prepared to land your dream job!

Research the Company 

This may seem like a no-brainer, but it’s essential! Start by exploring the company’s website to understand its values, mission, and unique aspects you can mention—such as customer testimonials, portfolios, or recent projects. 

Don’t stop at the website; use social media to research the company further. If you know someone who works or has worked there, reach out and ask them questions. Familiarize yourself with their projects, clients, and the type of work they do to bring informed insights into the conversation.

Practice Makes Perfect

Talking through potential questions will help you be able to answer anything that is asked of you. Want to see a list of questions? Download a list of potential interview questions here. 

Prepare Yourself

It may sound strange, but while you know yourself, can you effectively talk about your skills, jobs, and projects out loud? Practice this! Write down your key projects and the main takeaways from each. This preparation will help you speak confidently and clearly about your experiences. 

Finish Strong

More than likely, the interview panel will allow you to ask questions at the end of the interview. This is your time to not only get your questions answered but connect with the interview panel on a deeper level! No matter the question, getting the interviewers talking about their company is a great way to connect about the role.
