Top Tip: Get Interview-Ready the Night Before
The Most Successful Candidates Always Prepare in Advance
There’s no such thing as “winging it” when it comes to interviews — especially in today’s competitive job market.
Whether your interview is in person or online, what you do the night before can have a big impact on your performance the next day.
Evening Prep Checklist for Interview Success
✅ Review the Job Description Again
Make sure the role’s key duties and skills are fresh in your mind. Match your own experience to them with examples.
✅ Research the Company (Properly)
Go beyond the homepage. Check recent news, social media, and team pages. Look for what matters to their business right now.
✅ Prepare Your Interview Space (for Video Calls)
-
Check your lighting and camera
-
Clear distractions in the background
-
Test your microphone and Wi-Fi connection
✅ Sort Your Outfit Tonight
Lay out something that fits the company culture but still makes you feel sharp and confident. No scrambling in the morning!
✅ Practise Your Intro Answer
The classic: “Tell me about yourself.” Nail this and you’ll start strong.
Bonus Tip: Get to Bed at a Decent Hour
You need to feel sharp, not sleepy. Avoid last-minute panic scrolling or trying to cram.
