Know what they'll ask. Practise it out loud. Walk in ready.

The mock interview asked about the projects on my own resume, then kept pushing on why I made each decision. That is exactly what the real panel did. By the third practice round I had short, clear answers ready.

My resume score showed what the job wanted that my resume did not show yet. I fixed the top item, scored again, and moved to the next one. It was the first time improving my resume felt like a list I could finish.

I had good projects, but the resume only named the tools. The changes it suggested added what I built and the result, in my own words. Interviewers started asking about those lines.

The coaching breaks told me I opened answers with tools instead of the problem. One point at a time, every few questions. After two sessions I could hear the difference myself.
