You’ve got the interview… and the pre-interview nerves. First of all - don’t worry, it’s normal. Secondly, our #OffScript career experts have some frank advice on how to scrub up before your interview to feel like your best self. 🧘♀️ Practise meditation and listen to music that helps you get in the zone (whether that’s pump up or chilled vibes). 🤝 Think of it as a two-way conversation - you’re interviewing the company to understand if it’s a good fit for you, too! 📣 Do a mock interview with your mates, ask them to give you feedback. 👩💻 Research the company and your interviewers on LinkedIn beforehand. This will give you some good talking points and show you care about the brand. ✨ Tidy up your #LinkedInProfile - add a Photo, Positions, Skills & About section. You are up to 24x more likely to receive recruiter InMails if you have 5+ skills listed on your profile. 💁♀️ Most importantly - feel empowered to bring your whole self to the interview!
