Your interview is tomorrow
Do three things tonight and skip everything else. Rehearse "tell me about yourself" out loud until it arrives without thinking. Have two stories ready with a number or an outcome in them. Learn one sentence for when your mind goes blank. Then sleep — there is no fourth thing worth losing sleep over.
One: the opener, out loud
Ninety seconds: what you do now, the relevant experience, why this role. Say it aloud five times, not in your head. Saying it is a different skill from knowing it, and the interview asks for the first one.
Two: two stories with something checkable in them
One about a time something went wrong, one about a time you decided something. Each needs a before and an after — "it used to take two days, afterwards one" — because that is what makes a story evidence rather than a claim. Two is enough. Most interviews reuse them.
Three: what to say when nothing comes
"That's a good question — let me think for a second." Said calmly it reads as consideration. The same pause taken in silence reads as being stuck. Learn the sentence tonight and the four seconds stop being frightening.
And tomorrow, before you start
If it is a video call, check your lighting and your background noise — those are the two things you cannot see or hear yourself. Work backwards from the interview time rather than forwards, so the first five minutes are yours instead of spent catching up.
Rehearse the opener now — About five minutes. Start with the question they will ask first.
