I recently shared these two links with a client and wanted to post it here as well. One of the biggest tried and true keys to interviewing well is preparation.
I recommend my clients get a notebook or index cards to write out answers to common interview questions and then practice, practice, practice! These written answers are great to review the night before an interview or if you arrive to the location ahead of schedule.
Here are links to two especially helpful and well-organized databases of interview questions:

* Remember, a better-prepared candidate will outshine an ill-prepared candidate in an interview. Formulate and practice your answers ahead of time. Do what you can to ace the interview!
