How do you normally prepare for interviews?

Out of curiosity what does your interview preparation process look like?

I like to write out all the stories that I think i'm gonna end up saying, then practising saying them a couple of times. Then I liked to practise interviewing with family members.

Investment Banking Full Resume Review

“She was great from the start. She responded extremely quickly and was always interested in giving positive feedback as well as criticism. She gave feedback extremely quickly, within hours, and was fully detailed. She answered all my questions in depth. She had a couple of questions and responded right away. She just seemed actively engaged and involved in the whole process of reviewing my resume and making it better. I really loved working with Susan and had an amazing, outstanding experience. I'm not sure if this is possible, but if this feedback could be passed on to her, that would be amazing. She's genuinely super easy and amazing to work with. ”
