There have been several posts lately from people looking for a job about how to prep, get an edge, etc. I came across this post on LI which really resonated with me. Havkng been on both sides of the table and been, at times, desperate for a job, this is some of the best advice and insight I have seen.
please note - this is not from me, I don't know the OP, nor do I aspire to be a LI influencer. I'm just looking to help out a fellow sales person.

If you’re feeling discouraged because you didn’t get the job — remember this: It might not have been about your experience ►It might have come down to chemistry. So…. → Be prepared. Do your research. Know about the team and company. → Make it about them….not YOU. How can you bring VALUE. → Ask GREAT questions (about the company, goals, culture, future)...
