If you find that it helps you to have some structure, spend some time tonight as a prep session. Get your clothes for tomorrow all laid out. And go over any notes you may have made. It might also help to write out some notes for yourself, maybe questions to ask the interviewer, or major points you want to be sure to include. And make sure to get a good night's sleep. During the interview, just pace yourself so you don't seem too nervous or excited. Be confident, you've got this!

Agree with prep and notes to help mitigate against going off track and making recall of common situations easier.

I think having notes is a great way to go. Bullet point the most important things you want to cover, and if you feel yourself veering from the course, take a glance at your notes (if it's a virtual interview). Having a clear idea for yourself what strengths you want to highlight before the interview starts can help you to stay on topic

Think about three projects that you worked on. Bullet a personal challenge you had to overcome and were eventually successful
Bullet the problem, your resources and your problem solving approach.

Keep these notes handy for the interview and you can pull from this to answer a variety of questions.

One of the worst double standards in corporate america.

Companies especially startups expect you to not keep interviewing when you accept a job offer. “It can deteroriate your brand.”

But companies would replace you in a heartbeat for almost any reason. Including interviewing a candidate who will replace you (you will be fired as soon as they find a person).

So companies can fuck with the little guys but we can’t look for our best interest?

Had my 1:1 with my People Lead yesterday to prepare for talent discussions. Said I had a great year - but need to work on being consistent. She said when I’m engaged it’s great but need to keep it going. I’ve mentioned my ADHD previously but I’m sure she doesn’t know all the components of what that means. We’ve had org issues - no clear role descriptions or expectations. Yes I do have a hard time staying engaged (and I’m medicated - Vyvance in the am, dextroamphetamine at noon). Thoughts?
