Today’s job market is more competitive than ever. In the past, a face-to-face interview gave you a pretty good shot at getting the job. No longer. With sometimes hundreds of people competing for one job, you must prepare in advance so you can communicate competently in the interview.
You were good on paper. Now you have to be great in person.
