Pre-interview review

Check the date and stated time zone. Do not rely solely on your device clock; ask the organiser about ambiguity.

Check whether the interview is video, phone, in person or task-based. Add unknown participant roles to your research notes.

Identify three core listing needs and a real example for each. Prepare a short answer and details for follow-up questions.

Separate notes from official company pages from your interpretation. Record the source and your review date.

Check the meeting link, microphone or travel plan in your own environment. Note a contact option if something goes wrong.

Keep the right CV and portfolio versions ready. Review tabs, notifications and files before screen sharing.

Choose three questions to prioritise if time is short. Preparing many questions does not mean you must ask all of them.

Prepare a note for questions, learning and any stated follow-up timeline. Separate interpretation from what was actually said.
