I absolutely love the art of the interview and I've been asked quite a bit over the years for tips to acing this critical part of the job search process. I have several tips, but I'll share just a few here today. 

Let's chat about three simple, actionable tips to help you walk into that room (or virtual space) with confidence and grace.

You're sitting across from the interviewer(s) and they throw a curveball question about your experience. The keys to nailing it? Your resume and the job description.

Why? 

Because your resume is a map of your professional journey and the job description is the destination. Before the interview, it's in your best interest to spend some meticulously reviewing both. Connect the dots between your experience and what the role requires. This not only showcases your preparedness but aligns your professional story with the company's needs.

Interviews are conversations, not interrogations. Remind yourself that the hiring team is already impressed by what they've seen on paper; now, they want to know you. Remember, this is also your opportunity to get to know them.

Why? 

When you approach an interview as a two-way street, the dynamic shifts. It's not just about if they like you; it's about if you like them. This mindset switch not only eases nerves but positions you as a confident, empowered candidate.
