Can we talk about the underrated side of interviews with a surprising constraint
My current rule is simple: if it takes less than 7 minutes to prepare, I am much more likely to keep doing it.
Context: I am not an expert, just someone trying to make Careers feel less intimidating. I wrote down what worked, what felt awkward, and what I would do differently next time.
> Tiny progress is still progress.
That line sounds cheesy, but it got me through the part where interviews stopped feeling new.
I know this is a tiny sample size, but after 4 attempts the pattern is pretty clear. When I keep the setup simple, I actually follow through.
