2. Practice Common Interview Questions

Prepare answers for frequently asked questions like:

• “Tell me about yourself”
• “What are your strengths and weaknesses?”
• “Why should we hire you?”

Structure your responses using the STAR method (Situation, Task, Action, Result) for clarity and impact. Practising these will build your confidence in delivering concise, relevant answers.
