• Prepare stories about your past experience that reflect relevant job skills to use in the interview
• Dress in business casual attire
• For virtual mock interviews, test your technology, video, audio, and internet connection are working well

• Find the email that was sent to you with the invitation link for the interview, and be connected five minutes before your interview time

During the Interview:

• Introduce yourself confidently with a smile on your face
• Maintain eye contact with the interviewer
• Listen carefully to the interviewer's questions. Pause for seconds to think about what you want to say
• Tell the truth and give honest answers
• Support your answers with examples of your accomplishments whenever possible
• Answer all questions in a positive way
• Use action verbs to describe your skills and experiences. For example, say, 'I supervised', 'I analyzed', or 'I implemented'
