How to prepare and behave

This is editorial guidance, not information from the employer.

• Read the whole description and match your examples to its requirements; use the same words the posting uses where they are true for you.

• Arrive early (or log in early for a video call), dress one step above the daily dress code, and test your camera and audio beforehand.
