I have participated in hiring committee review discussions of hundreds of candidates and I have trained hundreds more in 1:1 and group settings. I have seen candidates both great and terrible, but those that stand out most starkly in my mind, and the vast majority of that I’ve seen, are the “woefully underprepared”.

Let me show you how to avoid the same traps that I've seen dozens of other great candidates succumb to.
