1. Research the company and the job posting

Researching a company before an interview is one of the best ways to feel comfortable about your interview. While it gives you the necessary information about a company’s mission, vision and goals, it also helps you go into the company with a clear idea of why you want to work for them.
Your research into the company via social media, and also through web search or media outlets, is likely to give you an idea of the type of people they are looking for and what type of questions they are likely to ask you.
In addition, it is important to review the job description for the job you applied for to identify the day to day requirements of the job, the skills and qualifications required to answer the questions of the recruiter and also how it aligns with your career goals.
