Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - Questions sound harder because the weight of the opportunity is heavy. Losing this opportunity would imply a 6 month cool down on top which there is no guarantee whether your resume will get shortlisted.

I get it. I've been in your shoes. However, too much anxiety will make you blank and you will self doubt will begin to creep in. That is when you have lost the battle.

Stay calm, friend. You will do this. Think logically. If the scenario isn't something you have faced, try to bring analogies. Try to fit different dimensions. However, do not force fit if it doesn't intuitively make sense to you.
