Align your CV with the job description:&nbsp;Looking for ways your CV aligns with the job description is a strategic move that will help you feel prepared going into your interview. Demonstrating this alignment through specific examples not only bolsters your credibility but also presents a strong case for your suitability for the role. If, for instance, the job description shows that budget management is a key responsibility, be ready to provide an example of how you have successfully overseen budgets in previous roles. These type of tangible demonstrations of your capabilities showcases your ability to fulfill the role's requirements
Prepare some questions:&nbsp;This one is really crucial, you should aim to prepare 5-10 questions to ask at your interview.

Research the interviewer:&nbsp;Attempt to find out who your interviewers are in advance. The interview invitation email might contain this detail. Use LinkedIn and the 'About Us' section on the company's website to delve into their professional backgrounds. This can help you to establish a connection with the interviewers.
Have your answers ready for the common questions:&nbsp;Some of the most common questions you get asked at an interview are sometimes the most difficult to answer. You should prepare in advance to answer questions like &ndash; &lsquo;why do you want to work for this company?&rsquo;, &lsquo;what are your salary expectations?&rsquo; and &lsquo;why are you looking for a new role?&rsquo; Preparing for common interview questions will help you feel more ready to showcase your best self. &nbsp;
