Interview Prep Resources
Preparation is key! Get interview-ready
Job interviews can be both exciting and nerve-wracking. Practicing and preparing is the best way to boost your confidence and land the job you want.
Interviews are your chance to shine and to tell your unique story in more detail. Do this by clearly showcasing your

- Interests
- What you can bring to the role and organization
Doing your homework before every interview to understand the role, organization, and industry will help you feel more confident, stand out, and land the position you want.
Ways to get started

This Toolkit will teach you about what interviewers are looking for, how to prep for different types of interviews, what questions to ask, and more! |
| Networking & Informational Interviews ToolkitBefore the interview, you can start building connections within the organization you want to work for via informational interviews (also known as coffee chats). Learn tips on how to do this with this Toolkit. |
