Now, the focus is on assessing how well you fit with the role, company culture, and your passions. Here are some practical tips about how to better prepare for a Superday
- Demonstrate Your Fit and Close the Deal: Be prepared to concisely answer these questions, while demonstrating your passion and desire for the role: Why this company? Why this role?

- Self-Reflect on Your Experiences: Identify desired skills for the role and brainstorm examples from your experience to provide evidence that you have those skills.

They should be well-researched and knowledgeable, and can be structured in two parts: what you know and what you wish to learn.
