- Do Your Homework: Be able to explain why your skillset adds the most value for THIS job at THIS company. Study both job and company.
- Be Authentic, But Have a Filter: Be careful what you reveal as the interviewer is always trying to find how it will affect his business. For example: It’s great to dream of having your own business but bringing it up raises concerns regarding loyalty.
