1. List out talking points
Create a set of bullet points of each topic you want to cover.
Tailor to the company and job description. 2/7

2. Rehearse the talking points
Read word-for-word at first, aloud, until you feel comfortable.
Ideally record yourself with e.g. Quicktime or @CaptoForMac. 3/7

3. Reduce the talking points to 1-3 words per bullet point
Try to still get the full point across eloquently.
Don't try to recall the talking points exactly.
Start making it more conversational, be able to improvise, ad-lib details not in your original notes. 4/7

4. Rehearse against questions you anticipate will be asked
Look for common questions on Google.
Also, look at Glassdoor for interviewees revealing questions.
Practice spinning the talking points in ways that answer those questions, tailoring it to the question. 5/7

5. Practice without any notes
The end goal is to not have to rely on notes.
I'd still bring the abbreviated bullet points to the interview, along with your resume.
But be able to practice without.
Be able to answer the questions without any hesitation. 6/7
