Interview performance is mostly preparation quality wearing a confident face. Candidates who sound effortless have usually done something unglamorous first: read the posting closely, matched their experience to its demands, and practised saying the relevant parts out loud until they survive nerves.

Expect methods rather than scripts here: turning any job description into a structured preparation plan, building answers that survive follow-up questions instead of collapsing after the first rehearsed line, and working out what each interviewer is actually testing beneath the question they asked.

The starting point is the guide to preparing from a job description. The same document you tailored your resume against is the best available map of the conversation ahead.
