How do you prep for interviews ?

Is this a red flag? For context, I was going to college full time between 2015-2019. During that time, i was working in retail and on campus at some point. I also had two other jobs not seen in this screenshot I was at for at least a few years while also attending university. My first job was from 2014-2017 and the second job from 2017-2021. So, there were a few points where I was working two jobs while also attending college full-time. Would this look bad to employers?
How does one even begin to think to go back to work when life isn’t just lifing, you went through some really f’d up stuff… career pivot from customer service possible start but what low stress jobs hire people like me with a social anxiety and ptsd? Work from home are so hard to find but best option.
Excited about a career shift into AI Integration, I have recently developed AI Customer Support Chatbots using Python and the Gemini API. This experience has involved deploying apps on Streamlit and managing workflows on GitHub. I'm eager to connect with others transitioning into the AI automation space!
Curious. How would someone pivot back into doing receptionist work after more than 5 years spent in a higher position? It seems that interviewers can't get past what the last job was, even though it is no longer relevant to the job seeker, and that person is experienced in front reception work, and the sedentary role would be perfect for that applying person.
I go over the job description. Prepare my answers to at least answer two main questions using the STAR method. If you interview enough you just reuse & apply it to that specific role.
I recommend listening to Emma Grede’s Podcast. Her episode on How to Nail Your Next Interview was quite fantastic and valuable. Good luck!
Getting a career coach for a few sessions can really boost your confidence for interviews. They'll help you figure out what questions might come up and how to give genuine answers that make you shine without overdoing it.
use Ai to help you structure your answers paste the job description in a strong AI tool and prompt it to come up with a list of possible questions, then prepare the answers to those. a lot of recruitment teams get questions to interview candidates using AI, so just do the same thing as a candidate
I would look up the person(s) who will be interviewing me on LinkedIn (their role, what they post about related to their role/company, past work) and write 2-3 very specific, tailored questions for them for the end of the interview. Also, seconding prepping to answer questions in the STAR format.
