5 Interview Tips That Work

Research the company

Know what they do, recent news, and their values. Check their website, LinkedIn, and Google News.

Prepare STAR stories

Situation, Task, Action, Result. Have 3-4 stories ready that show your skills.

Arrive 10 minutes early

Not 30 minutes (awkward), not 2 minutes (stressed). 10 minutes is perfect.

Bring copies of your resume

Even if they have it digitally. Interviewers often forget to print it.

Ask thoughtful questions

"What does success look like in this role?" shows you're serious about contributing.

S
