Maximize Your Chances of Success

Job interviews are some of the most stressful events anyone will go through. They're full of ups and downs, taking you from the depths of despair to the heights of ecstasy. It's incredibly hard to make sure your best self comes across in a short, intense interview and many great candidates slip through the net due to lack of preparation, planning or complacency.

Many of the interview tips you'll see in this course are simple to implement but in combination will enhance your preparation and ensure you eliminate many common mistakes from your interview.

Prepare Yourself for Success!

We recommend starting your preparations about 1-2 weeks in advance of the interview. Starting early is crucial as it allows ample time for research and preparation. Expect to dedicate a significant amount of time to reading and online research. It's essential to keep in mind that if you're not preparing, your competitors likely are. Remember, this is a competition. Even if you perform well, if someone else excels, they may secure the job.
