Interview Questions
Steer the interview - Very very important concept that people don't often think about. As a candidate, you can influence the interviewer's next question through your current answer.
Ex: I worked on newer technologies like MLOps and created 30% efficiency.

Interview Questions
Interviewer next question could be: Explain how did you do that, what are the key components and end impact for the business
Preparation and having a script helps. But don't get stuck to your script if the interviewer is moving forward with his own questions

Prepare questions to ask the interviewer: Having a few questions prepared shows that you are interested in the conversation
Avoid basic questions like, can you explain this role in detail. It seems too unprepared as you just attended interview for the role

Finally
Be Confident - All Interviewers were once candidates who were in your seat. They are human, they understand you
Greet the interviewer with a firm handshake and a smile, and maintain good eye contact throughout the interview
