(PERFECT) PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT
When interviewing, the key to success is to practice your questions and answers out loud, prior to the interview.
If you put together a list of questions you found on the internet, but then do NOTHING with them until you ask them in the interview, the interviewer will know you didn’t prepare and that you’re just asking someone else’s questions.
If you DO practice aloud beforehand, however, you’ll make the questions your own and will gain voice-memory.
The first few times you speak an answer out loud, it’ll feel like a tongue twister but, through repetition, you’ll be saying the words without even thinking about them. Then, when you ask them in the interview, the words will be second nature and you’ll come across as prepared, polished, and confident.
Interviewing is both art and a science: WHAT you say is the science, HOW you say it is the art.
