Very early in my career (1 year experience). But any tips on how would one prepare for job interviews while working a hectic full time schedule?

Plan it out far in advance and block the time off in your calendar as a placeholder. Never resulted in any issues with me - if someone truly presses just say it's a dentist appointment.

Ignore, somehow read as plan instead of prepare. In that sense, a lot easier? Evenings, weekends and during worktime when there's a slow/waiting period.

Weird question, you prepare the same way you do anything outside work
