The standard approach to an interview is to just show up and roll with the flow. Some people might rehearse possible questions, but that is usually as far as it goes. In this article, I will talk about the proper way to prepare for and handle an interview. Before going into details, let us step …
I guess by writing a blog on this topic the mere posting of my thoughts makes me part of the media, albeit with currently a very small readership and no national magazine presence, but then even Fareed Zakaria started somewhere.
