5 things I'd NEVER do before my interviews to start landing job offers Save for your next interview 1. I'd never memorize answers word for word. That's why people sound robotic. Instead: • memorize key stories • key wins • key lessons • key examples Conversations sound better than rehearsals. HELLO@ADAEMMA.COM 2. I'd never research only the job description. Most candidates stop there. I'd also research: • the interviewer • company culture • leadership • recent company news • team structure Preparation builds confidence. HELLO@ADAEMMA.COM 3. I'd never walk into an interview without rehearsing my answers. I practice OUT LOUD now. Because thinking an answer is different from saying it under pressure. I'll record myself answering behavioral questions HELLO@ADAEMMA.COM 4. I'd never try too hard to sound impressive. Interviewers can feel performance energy.
