Let’s face it, for most of us the job interview inspires feelings ranging from exhilaration to downright fear. In some respects, a job interview is like an audition in which you go in front of the judges, show them what you got, and hope for the “thumbs up” though most of us will end up getting a “thumbs down.”

However, like any audition, you can improve your chances by preparing yourself ahead-of-time. We’ve scoured the web for some valuable resources to help you prepare for the job interview. If you know of any other good resources, drop us a line.
