Beware Of Scripted Answers. You’re Not A Robot
The excitement and overwhelm of interviewing can lead you into the trap of over-preparation.
Whatever you do, avoid rigid and scripted answers. You know why? Interviewers are smart too. They know there are scripted answers all over the internet, and they have interviewed lots of candidates too. Many things don’t surprise them.
During the interview, don’t sound too generic in your answers. Be you! Use unique and relevant experiences that highlight your technical skills, soft skills and personality.
The interviewer wants to know you so give them the chance as you reveal yourself.
