I’m interviewing for positions at the moment and preparation is absolutely the key to success. I’ll spend days preparing for an interview. I research the company extensively, the background of the people interviewing me, and I’ll review any current media releases from or about the company as well.

I’ll then prepare answers to the most common interview questions and any technical questions that I might think that they will ask.

It’s a lot of work. But if you really want the position then it is well worth it.
