Signs of Interview Overpreparation

Yes, contrary to common belief, it's possible to overprepare! 😣 These are some signs you've spent too much time trying to prepare for your interview.
⠀
- Mixing Up Data: It's great to know your numbers, but trying to memorize too many situations and numbers may result in mix-ups or forgetfulness.
- Analysis Paralysis: When answering a question, you may be flooded with examples and have a hard time narrowing down which one is best.
- Forgetting to Follow-Up: You may become overconfident and forget the basics like following up to thank interviewers afterward.
- Neglecting Daily Tasks: If you find yourself spending more time preparing than doing all of the necessary housekeeping of your life, you're letting it consume you! Take a breath, wash the dirty dishes in the sink and reset.
