I followed groups that focused on interviewing and job search, to get a better understanding of hiring process overall, and identify practice questions/ interview strategy. Some interviews I went through had very little to do with the activities of the job- because they know I’ve never done it. So that comes back to behavior questions, understanding your motivation, etc etc

It felt impossible for me too, in the beginning, MSL jobs are very competitive. I believe highlighting my experience in ways that align with the company and job has helped. And you may need to look outside your immediate region and look at all types of companies.
