When people tell me, 'Hey, I'm going to a interview at this company.' First question I ask is, 'How many mock interviews have you done?' And the answer typically is zero. I would recommend people to do dozens of those mock interviews.
You want to basically practice so much that even at your worst, you're good enough. I've always felt like most interviews, I literally did my worst. It's just that it was good enough to pass. You're so stressed out, you don't relate to the person, et cetera.
The biggest thing I see particularly at higher levels is people talk about what they have done but not why it mattered. They don't talk about the impact.
The number one and two factors in any interview are appearance and enthusiasm. People want to work with people that want to work with them.
