Interview tips:

Dress nice.
Do your homework on the company, the people….and the competition.

If you’re stumped, stall effectively.Examples: Restate the question. Tell you what it won’t be.
Eye contact.
Posture.
Bring examples.
Always bring ideas.
Please and thank you.
Follow up.
Ask for feedback either way.
Lie…maybe.
