Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - I faced a challenge throughout the interview due to the interviewer's unstable internet connection. despite politely informing him about the connectivity issue multiple times (approx 10 to 15 times), the problem persisted, As a result, I missed several parts of the conversation and had to ask for clarification.
at one point the interviewer seemed annoyed, eventually, the interview concluded abruptly without proper communication.
It was disappointing that no effort was made to rectify the situation. It felt like a waste of time.

Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - The hard truth is that this is a terrible job market for job seekers. The salaries are lower in general and more positions are being reduced to freelance or part-time. The work you have always loved may not have the same title and may be shared by a team now. Instead of viewing this as a negative, though, consider the opportunities. Maybe you like sales, but always wanted to do some consulting
