The good news is, you don’t have to collapse under anxiety! With the right preparation, you can overcome your fears and ace your next job interview.
We found this checklist that walks you through how to prepare, how to behave during, and how to follow up an interview. Once you’ve prepared, just remember to take a deep breath and be yourself!
