The interview is also an opportunity for you to collect information that helps you understand the company and the position.

RESEARCH

Know as much as you can about the organization, the job, the competition, and the industry. The more you know, the better off you will be.

STAY FOCUSED

ELIMINATE DISTRACTIONS

Prepare your space from any noises or distractions from your interview. Always expect interruptions so you can eliminate them.

TEST YOUR GEAR

There is nothing more frustrating to an interviewer than to find out that your internet connection is unstable, or that your headset isn't working properly. Check all your gears prior to the interview.

STORYTELLING

It is vital to develop a storytelling approach that will help your interviewers connect with YOU. 

Highlight a role in your career and exemplify your strengths and how you have overcome challenges, weaknesses, and how it made a positive impact in the organization; increase profitability, cost-reduction, customer service optimization, or any other major successful projects and initiatives.
