Whether you're in high school, college, or the real world, you can most likely expect to have more than a few interviews throughout your lifetime.

Although it might seem daunting, interviews are not as scary as they seem. An interview isn't solely so that a company can question you, but also for you to learn more about them! It's your chance to ask questions about the positions being offered, how the company is run, and what you will gain if you decide it is the right fit. There is kind-of this unsaid list of things I do upon preparing for any interview I have, so I'm going to take you through it & hopefully help you prepare for the next interview you have!

• Follow on social (after applying)- Right after applying anywhere, the first thing I do is make sure I'm following the company on Instagram. This is a super easy way to stay connected and keep up with events & anything important going on.
  

• Explore the website (a week before the interview)- I always familiarize myself with the company website and skim through the pages. This should give you information about what the company is all about and hopefully give you some visuals too. I also make sure I know who the CEO is, and any other important background information about the company.
  

• Read current events (1-2 days prior to the interview)- I find it very important to loosely keep up with any current events going on within the company. You might end up working for them, after all! It also could come in handy to pull out some of this information during the interview, if applicable, and shows your level of care and dedication.
