How to Prepare for a Job Interview

As I am writing this post, I have come a long way... from job hunting to preparing myself for job interviews to negotiating and eventually clinching the job.  Maybe it is an "Asian" thing, I realise we tend to be overly humble and undersell our abilities during interviews. This may lead to missed opportunities even if know we are fully aware that we are qualified for the role. When it comes to job interviews, from my past experiences I can say that over preparation is underrated. I went in the interviews over prepared, from researching the background of the company and common questions to reading reviews on Glassdoor to see what feedback I could gather before meeting the interviewers in person.
