Research Recent Company News:

Stay up-to-date with the latest news about the company. This could include recent achievements, milestones, or even challenges they've overcome. 🗞️🚨 Incorporate this information into your responses to show that you're well-informed and maybe ask a follow-up question or two about them 💬

Look Up the Interviewer on LinkedIn:

If you know the name of your interviewer, look them up on LinkedIn. 🕵️ It can provide insights into their professional background and help you establish a connection. In other words, try to find something you have in common! 🫱🏻‍🫲🏼
