Job interviews are never fun. In fact, for many of us, they can be extremely stressful and nerve-wracking, and no matter how much we prepare for them, we feel like we’re never ready enough.

Well, today, I want to change this!

You see, I have a loooot of experience interviewing for jobs. I started working when I was sixteen, mostly retail and food service (like every other teenager out there today). 

I also worked several different jobs while I got through nursing school; so, suffice to say, I definitely know how to ace a job interview. 

All these jobs were a stepping stone towards gaining my confidence and eventually landing my dream nursing job.

Each one of them helped me be a bit better at job interviews, until they stopped being stressful and anxiety-inducing.

Today, I’ll be sharing with you all my tips to acing your job interview and landing your dream nursing job.
