Interviews aren’t just about landing an offer—they’re a powerful way to grow your communication skills, confidence, and clarity around your goals. By learning how to prepare and present yourself effectively, you’ll stand out as someone who takes initiative, understands their value, and knows how to connect with professionals. We don’t just hand you tips…we help you practice the mindset and tools that turn interviews into opportunities, whether it’s your first internship or your future career.

  • Clarify Your Why Before They Ask

  • Don’t Just Prepare Answers—Prepare Questions

  • Use the STAR (Situation, Task, Action, Result) Method to Tell Better Stories

  • Be Ready to Talk About What You’re Doing Now

  • Practice, But Don’t Memorize

  • Follow Up Thoughtfully

How to Use These Interview Tips

These tips aren’t just for reading, they’re meant to be practiced. Start by reviewing each section and filling out the worksheet to reflect on your experience, goals, and communication style. Then, apply what you’ve written to real-life scenarios:

  • Use the STAR method to structure answers in mock interviews.

    • Situation: Set the scene… What was your role? What kind of company did you work at?

    • Task: What was your goal? Did you notice a problem or a gap needed to be adressed?

    • Action: What specific actionable steps did you take?

    • Results: What measurable results came about of your actions?

  • Practice your "Why" and your questions out loud.

  • Show, don’t tell. Give your interviewer examples of your great work rather than telling them you are sucessful.

  • Test out your outreach and follow-up emails after events or interviews.

Most importantly, revisit this resource before every interview—it’s your go-to prep tool to feel more confident, focused, and ready to show your potential. The more you use it, the more natural it becomes.
