I have a lot of experience with job interviews, before each interview I researched the company, and I prepared myself to the answer most popular questions in the job interviews

I think I should take a couple of courses about job interviews to learn how to prepare for them and refresh my knowledge. Also, I'll try to sleep well before the interview, keep my clothes well-maintained, and tune myself into achieving good results.
