Not much you can do to prepare for the medical. As long as your are healthy then you will be fine, even if you are over weight slightly then that’s ok. They will just suggest to lose some weight.

For the DMI then just do some research on the company and the job requirements and when answering their questions use the STAR method.

Interviewers were both really nice so they will make you feel relaxed, so don’t worry about your nerves.

 

[Mike Tyson]

I start march
