One week before: Read the job description and company website; list 5 achievements with numbers; collect likely questions. Three days before: Do 2–3 mock interviews; refine weak answers; prepare questions for the interviewer. One day before: Test your camera, mic, internet and meeting link (for online interviews); prepare your outfit and a notes sheet; sleep well. On the day: Join 5–10 minutes early, keep water nearby, and listen fully before answering.
