Sitting down for an interview, you have two tasks: expressing your superior credentials and skills and connecting with the interviewer. Managing this balance can be difficult—you might be so focused on your qualifications that you strike out on the connection. Or, you might be so chatty with the interviewer that you forget to mention your best capabilities.

The hiring process has changed immensely in the last while, and most interviews are now remote, which can add another level of anxiety to the process.
Preparation before an interview will help you feel less anxious, help you avoid stumbling over your words, and may even be the ticket to winning the job. Knowing how to conduct yourself in a remote interview is one thing, but preparing to answer the interview questions is a whole other ball game.
