You’ll first want to do some background research on: 

• The organization / company (mission, vision, and values)
• The job you are applying for (skills, required and desired experiences)
• The style of interview (one on one, group, panel, case study)
• Sample questions that are common in this particular industry 

Once you’ve researched the context, you can prepare in the following ways:

• Use the STAR(E) methodology to answer questions:
  • Situation → Describe the situation
  • Tasks → The goal you worked towards in that situation
  • Action → What you or the team did 
  • Results → The outcome
  • Experiences → Lessons learned 
• Select sample questions to write out your answers and practice them vocally. Once you’re feeling more prepared, try to practice with a friend or family member
• Prepare questions for the employer to ask at the end of your interview

For some sample questions, see McGill’s “How to Interview”.
