I'll atempt to share tips and tactics based on my personal experience in order to help you prepare for an interview.
In terms of interviews, I have a sacred rule:
**"Whatever happens is an experience."**
Remember that every time when you feel nervous or you're in a difficult situation. It's very normal to feel this way. I will made up this article in two parts:
1: Preparing for the interview with HR
2: How to prepare for the technical interview
The essential point is that interviewers are just like you, and you should be aware that interviewers don't have a greater standing than you. Indeed, they're going to decide if you're suitable for that position. Probably, you had a bad day and you didn't manage to look that you have qualities for that position in front of the interviewer and you think other candidates are more prepared than you. Whatever happens, you should put your fear aside and think rationally. I recommend you to do a list with pros and contras qualities about. Try to assess yourself from any viewpoint; after all, you know yourself best, and depending on how serious the issue is, try to find a solution. On contrary, don't overthink and act.
1: Preparing for the interview with HR
I'll provide a link to an excellent website with questions that most interviewers ask, which you should read and practice previously. I found that the majority of the questions were repetitive. So, keep your emotions under control and strive to be the greatest.

You strive not to remember responses and to alter them based on your experience. I don't suggest memorizing since interviewers notice this detail; instead, I urge that you prepare ahead of time and that if you try to deliver a complex answer. The notion is that time is tight and the interviewer has no idea who you are. So, you should to give more information about you.
2: How to prepare for the technical interview
You should study the job requirements that you have applied for. The position may not require many algorithms and focus on other qualities. You need to study the company and look for a website where others shared their experience when they had the interview.
For algorithms, I recommend leetcode.
Whatever what happens, regardless of the stage, technical interview or hr, in the interview, I'd like you to ask questions. If you ask, you look interested in this position and you look like you want to to expand your knowledge.
This is my first article and I hope that I could help you.
Remember always that: "Whatever happens is only a experience"
Have a lovely day! ❤︎
