What to prepare Before an Interview
Practice answering questions
Because the largest portion of your interview will be spent answering questions, the best way to prepare for an interview is to anticipate the questions you will likely be asked and then practice your answers to these questions.
All interviewers will ask some common interview questions to determine if you are the best candidate for the job. These questions usually deal with your career goals, your level of interest in the job and company, your job skills and motivation, and your interpersonal communication skills.

For the best results, you may consider practicing you answers in front of a mirror, with a friend, or using a video camera. These methods can provide constructive feedback, in addition to building the confidence and comfort you need for the real interview.
