  • Prepare specific examples from your experience that demonstrate technical and soft skills.

  • Be honest and authentic in your responses; avoid exaggerating your accomplishments or skills.
  • Rehearse your answers, but ensure they sound natural and conversational during the interview.

  • Be data-driven, not emotions-driven, when discussing results and impacts.
