Mock Interviews Are Non-Negotiable

To wrap up our preparation strategy, we dive into how to structure our prep effectively—because randomly studying “a bit of everything” doesn’t work.

• Mock interviews are non-negotiable: They’re the fastest way to sharpen your skills, build confidence, and improve how you communicate under pressure.
• Avoid practicing in real interviews: We should use mocks to make mistakes and learn, not high-stakes opportunities.
• Find partners in your network or online: Leverage communities or platforms like ADP List to schedule mock sessions with others.
• Record your mocks: Watching ourselves afterward reveals blind spots we may not notice in the moment—this step alone can lead to major improvements.
