Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - Everything depends on your resume. You don't have to have a flashy resume too. Be formal; avoid photos if possible, keep the font strictly Times New Roman. This way, the ATS will capture your resume faster. Also, be prepared in advance for the interview and do not panic, and try to avoid the stutter. I stuttered a few times in the interview, and it pushed by candidature back by 2 weeks. So avoid the stutter by preparing in advance.
