How do you prep for interviews ?

I'm a Maternity RN of over 5 years and I'm getting tired of the stress and hours; I want to look at my options if I do decide to leave bedside as I've become very jaded with the healthcare system. I've been an educator of my peers in many different ways and on a few different levels as well as doing a lot of patient education. I have been told I may make a good "Corporate Educator", but I do not know what that means and how to start looking for opportunities. Any advice or starting points?
Hi everyone 👋 Currently exploring a move into tech sales after working in commercial sales within the Premier League. My background is mainly sponsorship sales, strategic partnerships and high-value commercial negotiations, and I'm now looking at AE opportunities in SaaS - especially companies like Salesforce. Long term, my wife is American so we'd also love to eventually move to the US. Would love to connect with anyone who's made a similar move or has advice on breaking into the industry.
How does one even begin to think to go back to work when life isn’t just lifing, you went through some really f’d up stuff… career pivot from customer service possible start but what low stress jobs hire people like me with a social anxiety and ptsd? Work from home are so hard to find but best option.
I go over the job description. Prepare my answers to at least answer two main questions using the STAR method. If you interview enough you just reuse & apply it to that specific role.
I recommend listening to Emma Grede’s Podcast. Her episode on How to Nail Your Next Interview was quite fantastic and valuable. Good luck!
Getting a career coach for a few sessions can really boost your confidence for interviews. They'll help you figure out what questions might come up and how to give genuine answers that make you shine without overdoing it.
use Ai to help you structure your answers paste the job description in a strong AI tool and prompt it to come up with a list of possible questions, then prepare the answers to those. a lot of recruitment teams get questions to interview candidates using AI, so just do the same thing as a candidate
Honestly, I read the job description and the company about page, and just go for it. If I haven't interviewed in a while, I'll have my resume ready to refresh myself. I like to be chill and be myself, because that's who they're going to get on the job anyways. I don't really have trouble answering questions or coming up with my own questions, so I don't specifically prep for that.
I would look up the person(s) who will be interviewing me on LinkedIn (their role, what they post about related to their role/company, past work) and write 2-3 very specific, tailored questions for them for the end of the interview. Also, seconding prepping to answer questions in the STAR format.
