Nailing an interview is all about preparation. Make sure you know everything you can about the company and the position you're applying for.Practice your answers to common interview questions, and come up with some questions of your own to ask the interviewer.

Hello! Prepare beforehand by doing your research about the company. Be confident yet polite. Be early and dress up nicely. Best of luck!! You got this.

Depends on the company and role

Be prepared to sell yourself, and dress for success. Arrive early, be polite and respectful, and thank the interviewer for their time when you're done. Good luck!

Do your research and be honest! You have to be a good fit for them as much as they are for you, so you should be yourself first.

First off, congratulations on sourcing that interview, that is a major accomplishment in itself! Secondly, do your research and run through some practice questions and responses. If you can, record yourself answering some questions and watch it back. Then you can edit yourself and see how you are performing. If you can, practice with someone so they can toss random questions at you so you can respond in real time

What company is it? I suggest practicing A LOT! Use online resources to prepare and learn about the company. In the beginning, how you communicate, listen and treat people might be more important than what you already know.

Do your research and be prepared at least days before the scheduled interview. Be confident and always be honest. You can do it! Good luck!

Go on the Glassdoor page for the company and go to the interview section. Make sure you filter it to comments from people who received an offer.

Finished all my interviews almost 4 weeks ago, still waiting for any feedback from Google even though I’ve followed up on a weekly basis. I’ve read several places that I just have to show patience as the process could be slow, but no feedback is unusual from what I can gather? I felt that the recruiter was slow/did not respond, even before my interviews, so could it maybe just be a case of a bad recruiter and they’re still evaluating my candidacy?

The team I am on is small and I know that when I leave, they’ll have a lot on their hands. I only have a couple of interviews scheduled and nothing is solid yet.
