Ngozi NwaubaniYou have been looking for a job for some time. And now you have finally been invited for an interview, and you don’t know to prepare for a job interview. Preparing for a job interview has become easier than we think. There is a vast bank of knowledge and guidance on the internet, unlike in the past. This results from people mapping out their experiences, those that yielded results, and those that delivered lessons. No knowledge, as they say, is ever wasted.
Before going for a job interview, it is advisable to go through one or multiple sites during your preparation. You may think that a 30-minute or 1hr interview is something you can handle, only to realize it wasn’t when you get a rejection email. It’s best to put in the effort to limit your chances of getting a rejection. These preparation sites will give you practice tests and questions in your field, and some will even go as far as speaking with you. Some of the following are good examples to get started with.
