Before the Interview

Research the Company: Understand the company's mission, values, and culture. This will help you tailor your responses and show genuine interest.

Listen Carefully: Pay close attention to the interviewer's questions and comments. This will help you provide thoughtful and relevant answers.
Be Positive and Confident: Avoid negative comments about previous employers or colleagues. Focus on your strengths and achievements.
Ask Questions: Prepare a list of questions to ask the interviewer. This shows your interest in the role and the company.

Follow Up: Send a thank-you email to the interviewer within 24 hours. Express your gratitude for the opportunity and reiterate your interest in the position.
