Preparation Bonfire

Yup, not so fast to the boss fight. We need to gather a few essential items before pushing forward. The good news? These items improve with time, but you’ll need them in your inventory to stand a chance.

You might be one of the hardcore ones, breezing through everything with 0% damage. But for the rest of us mere mortals, proper preparations are essential.


Work Experience Over General Knowledge

Hands-on experience with tools is more valuable than theoretical knowledge. By the time you reach the mid-level (Ssr), you’re expected to know the essentials—this is the baseline.

Do we have here some General knowledge questions? Those are a separate challenge. But don’t worry. We’ve covered you with the Interview Preparation section to give you a glimpse of the critical topics.

Certifications are Good, But…

They’re mostly just a way to skip the easy questions in interviews, but if you play your cards right, they can serve as leverage to claim even greater rewards.

In short, if the certification supports your build, great! Otherwise, it’s like being a Strength build and wasting early points on learning a spell you can barely cast, leaving you open to attacks instead of focusing on fortifying your core skills.

A few takeaways:

Communication

Clear Communication is Crucial whether in interviews or building relationships with clients, the ability to explain your ideas is not just a must but a significant factor in your professional success. Preparation is your Estus Flask—it will keep you going. While there will come a time when you’ll breeze through interviews, preparation is key until then.

With this in mind, at least you won’t stumble right out of the fog gate, giving off the wrong impression.
