- Practice but Keep it Natural
- Prepare answers to common technical and behavioral questions, but don’t memorise them like a script. Instead, focus on: Clear explanations of your previous work, the impact of your contributions, talk how you solve problems or approach projects, and use the STAR method if it helps (Situation, Task, Action, Result) — but keep it human.
- Dress Appropriately
- You don’t need to dress formal, but looking put-together helps signal professionalism. Think: clean, comfortable, and camera-ready if online. Show you respect their time and space.
- Set up for success
- If your interview is remote (which it probably is), check:Your internet connection, your camera, mic, and background. Also make sure that you’re in a quiet, focused space.
- Follow Up
- After your interview, send a short and genuine thank-you message. Mention something you enjoyed discussing, and quickly reaffirm your interest in the role. It doesn’t need to be formal — just thoughtful and real.
