Preparing to get a job isn't easy, but it isn't necessarily hard either. This process is about you developing as a person, and noticing the things you've learned, overcome, and accomplished, even as a young adult. One crucial aspect is the interview. Many times you're being interviewed informally, and people are trying to size up how you handle stress and difficult situations. Describe one of your strengths and one of your weaknesses, and then tell a story that can help you show both your strength and your weakness in a positive light. For example: One weakness I have is that when I get into a project I can completely forget about everything else in life. I work almost too hard, some people say, but I just get consumed with performing and creating solutions. So I have to remind myself to also focus on my own needs, and I've had to learn to invest in myself. One way I did that was to get a gym membership, which helps me build a better, healthier lifestyle for myself.
