Prepare for an Interview
Good preparation is key to an effective interview. Just as you would practice for a big tennis match or an opening night theater performance, you will want to prepare. From planning what you will wear, to preparing responses to questions you will be asked—how you present yourself is within your control. Don’t try to wing it!
