interview prep
Getting questions ready
Interview prep is preparation for a job interview—researching the company, practicing answers to common questions, and rehearsing how to present your experience.
The term covers everything from reviewing your resume to doing mock interviews: I spent the weekend on interview prep for Monday's meeting.
Often shortened to just prep.
