Raise your hand if you’d prefer to go to the dentist than a job interview?!

I get it—interviewing is not something most people look forward to, although it is necessary to land your next best role. Not unlike going to the dentist is essential to maintaining good health.

So today, I’m diving into the TOP 3 most common interview mistakes I’ve seen job seekers make and how to avoid them. 

We will also discuss insider tips to help you ace your VIRTUAL interview. I know prepping to talk to your computer screen can be challenging, so I’ll also sneak some pro tips into this conversation.
