First and foremost, research the company thoroughly, familiarize yourself with its values, goals, and recent developments. Understanding the company's culture and industry trends can help you tailor your responses during the interview, demonstrating your genuine interest and enthusiasm.

Practice your responses to common interview questions, but don't memorize them verbatim. Instead, focus on conveying your experiences, skills, and achievements in a clear and concise manner. Practice active listening skills, allowing the interviewer to finish their questions before formulating your responses. This demonstrates respect and attentiveness, qualities highly valued in the business world.

When discussing your qualifications and experiences, use specific examples to illustrate your points. Quantify your achievements whenever possible, highlighting the impact you've had in previous roles. Employ the STAR method (Situation, Task, Action, Result) to structure your responses, ensuring clarity and coherence.

Reframing anxiety as excitement can be empowering. Instead of dwelling on potential mistakes or shortcomings, focus on the opportunity to showcase your skills and personality. Visualize success, envisioning yourself confidently answering questions and building rapport with the interviewer.

Mindfulness techniques can also be effective in managing interview anxiety. Practice deep breathing exercises to calm your nerves and center your focus. Remind yourself that it's okay to feel nervous – it's a sign that you care about the outcome. Embrace the adrenaline rush as a source of energy to fuel your performance.

After the interview, take time to reflect on your performance. Identify areas of strength and areas for improvement, using feedback to refine your interview skills for future opportunities. Regardless of the outcome, view each interview as a learning experience, building your confidence and resilience with each interaction.

As a beginner, there're some vocabularies that you didn't learn before, and native speaker's speed seems too fast to understand. But don't worry, let's do it step by step. 
1st time: listen and catch the words you know already, have a guess about the content.
2nd time: look at the text to check if you guessed it right. 
3rd time: listen one more time, repeat after it.
4th time: practice until you can speak as the normal speed without looking at the text.
