Prepping for an interview guide starts with researching the organization you’re applying to. Try to find as much information as possible on their values, culture, services, history, and what the job description entails.

The other half of the interview process is more about reflection than research. Take some time to write out your key skills and experiences, your strengths and weaknesses, and your answers to some common interview questions. Finally, don’t forget to jot down any interview questions you have for your potential employer—after all, the interview is a two-way street.

Here’s something they don’t tell you in interview school: You’re allowed to bring a notepad into the room to help you remember. In fact, some interviewers see advanced preparation and mid-interview note-taking as signs of commitment and thoughtfulness.

As long as you don’t spend the entire 60 minutes staring at your interview cheat sheet, you’re unlikely to have your preparedness used against you.
