What advice would you have given yourself before a job interview?

A Front-end developer interview:

So , I am applying for jobs, and i don't know absolutely nothing about how the interview process will go, basically when i up to something would like to know about it more.
Can you please help me to know more about how front-end job interview goes πŸ™

There is already some great advice here. I would just like to add that personally I have found that the interviewer is looking for the questions to be answered in the STAR format

The STAR format stands for Situation, Task, Action, Result:
Situation: An event, project, or challenge faced
Task: Your responsibilities and assignments for the situation
Action: Steps or procedure taken to relieve or rectify situation
Result: Results of actions taken.

And using this format try to have some answers to commonly asked questions. I try to have a few different answers ready, just incase I am asked a common question I do not have to repeat a previous answer (don't know if that really matters) and I don't have to struggle thinking of a second one.

Don't afraid if first interview fail. My tactic is do 10+ interview simultant. I was gather experience on first 5 interview. Personal gitrepo which is contain some useful is also really handy. CV does not longer than one page, short and clear ( in my case it is hard because I have 30+ years working experience).
