In addition to job boards, sources like Linkedin are great for networking, while Glassdoor is excellent for learning more about a company of interest. Employees or formerly employed can leave reviews about the company which is helpful insight if you’re looking to apply there. This way you can get a sort of feel if the environment is for you before even going there. Job Interview Question-Answer Need some help prepping for a job interview?

Practicing will make your answers much stronger when it comes time to interview and will certainly calm your nerves!
