Section 2: Preparation

Not just for the Tech Industry #

In Section II of the book, I share ways to prepare yourself for interviews.

Most importantly, how to share your introductory story, as that will set the tone for everything afterward. I also share tips on identifying companies where you may want to work (or not), and how to reach out to people at those companies.

Many of this principles will apply no matter what kind of job you're searching for.
