How to Prepare for an Interview

In a follow-up to last week's posting about Preparing for Interviews, the same blog talked about How to Prepare for an Interview. Much of the advice in this newer posting comes down to going through your CSI (credentials, skills, and interests) combined with personal branding -- knowing who you are, what you have to offer, and how that provides value to the employer. But I also think that the final step is the one that makes the rest of the work crucial - practice, practice, practice. All the discernment and research in the world will do no good if your answer isn't ready to roll off your tongue in a short sixty second answer.
