Nobody is interviewing you for shits and giggles.

I talk to a surprising amount of people who don't really get why they've been invited to interview, especially when it's a big name company.

They say they're happy to give it a go and see what happens.

"It'll be good practice", they say.

Nobody is wasting their time inviting candidates to interview that they don't believe have the goods.

What if there's an internal candidate already lined up for the role?

What if there is? What if you can't know that?

Don't prepare for your interview like you already know it's going to go to someone else. It might not. You might show them a candidate they just can't turn down.

If you're invited to interview, prepare for the most powerful hour you've ever had.

Prepare like you deserve to be there. You do!
