Pre-Interview Prep Tips
- Practice answering common interview questions out loud in front of a mirror.
- Record yourself answering the questions, and then watch it back.
- Practice answering them in a “mock interview” setting with a friend, family member, mentor, or an AI tool.
- Repeat all the steps until you feel confident.
- When you feel confident, why not record a video resume? You can start sending it around to recruiters and hiring managers to stand out.
