Interviews don’t start when you walk into a room. They start with preparation. The right approach helps you stay calm, answer clearly, and stand out. Whether it’s your first interview or your fiftieth, here’s how to show up ready. 

Before the Interview 

Know Why You’re Applying

Think about what you want in your next job. What excites you about this company or role? Your answers will feel more confident and grounded. 

Study Your Resume

Be prepared to walk through your career. Know your timeline, achievements, and challenges. Rehearse how you’ll explain job changes or gaps. 

Research the Company

Go deeper than the company’s website. Look at their social media, check if they’ve posted jobs on JobsTT, and learn about their work culture and recent updates. 

Practice Common Questions

Prepare and say out loud your answers to: 

• Tell me about yourself 

• Why do you want this job? 

• What are your strengths and weaknesses? 

Test Your Tech

For online interviews, make sure your mic, camera, and internet work. Log in early to avoid last-minute issues. 

On Interview Day

Show Genuine Interest
