Prepare effectively for job interviews with key strategies. Learn to craft your personal infomercial, highlighting past work experience, transferable skills, and what you currently offer. Anticipate types of questions and develop interesting stories using the STAR method—Situation, Task, Action, Result. Be ready for various interview styles and project confidence throughout the process. Don't forget to engage in active listening and control the content of your discussion. Post-interview, remember to gather contact information, take notes, and send thank-you letters to leave a positive impression.
