When getting ready for an interview you also want to avoid choices that will distract the interviewer from what you're saying, and your professional background. Leave the crazy trends at home and go secure that internship!

5. Leave A Professional Footprint 👣

It is important to leave your interview with some form of further contact, whether it be a business card or a LinkedIn connection. This is a prefect way to stay relevant to employers, and allows for opportunity to continue the conversation outside of the interview. Also, following up with handwritten note is great memorable way to stand out to interviewers.

6. Stay True To You 👩‍💼👨‍💼
