What would you give as an interview tip to someone?

Prepare, prepare, prepare. Learn everything you can about the company and the people you’ll be interviewing with. You need to spend time practicing your answers to likely interview questions. The 7th time you give an answer to a question will inevitably be much better than your 1st, so let the first 6 times be in front of a mirror. Situational questions can me the most difficult to answer so spend most of your time practicing them. Also, looking at the job descriptions for other positions will give you a better understanding of the traits the company likes to see. Lastly, you should practice doing case studies – there are a ton of examples online.
