Don’t underestimate your job interview. Every detail counts. It’s clear you want to do well, but perhaps you’re not dedicating the time it deserves. You might be focusing only on the obvious: repeating canned phrases, memorizing generic strengths, or telling a story invented by artificial intelligence. Preparing for an interview isn’t about filling your head with pre-designed answers, but understanding what they’re looking for, what you can offer, and how to express it clearly and authentically. But of course, that takes time, and often—between work, stress, and, well, life itself—it’s left until the last moment. As if improvising in the elevator would be enough to talk about your career. And no, usually it’s not.

What really works is practicing with intention, in formats that make you actually think, not just repeat. Tests are useful because they transform what normally feels forced or boring into an active and almost enjoyable process. While answering, you unconsciously begin recognizing patterns, prioritizing ideas, and refining your communication. They also allow you to evaluate your weaknesses: things you thought you knew but, when seen in context, you realize you don’t.

You can even practice for those uncomfortable questions that sometimes no one knows how to handle. And the best part is that you do it without pressure, in a safe environment, almost like rehearsing in front of the mirror but with more purpose. Because ultimately, an interview isn’t just a knowledge test: it’s a conversation about you, and it’s better to arrive with organized thoughts and more confidence than just hoping for luck.
