Don't rehearse the answers... But do prepare and be yourself.. Have few scenarios / stories ready with examples that you can use for almost any question.... I interviewed for my current job after spending 7 years in the previous firm....

I typically review common behavioral questions beforehand and write down bullets in a notebook which I bring into the interview. Nobody has even been upset when I come with notes I have prepared

I also write down the names of everyone I interact with in the notebook because I’m very forgetful. Comes in really handy. (Ofc write small enough so they can’t read it!)

Any idea that how much time it would take for the position to be released? They did not respond when i asked the same question.

Protocol for responding (or not) to unsolicited emails from recruiters to your work email? In other words, is it acceptable to just ignore without a response? Or do you prefer to keep the line open with a brief “thanks for thinking of me, I am not interested at this time but hope we can collaborate in the future.”
