   I would sign up for LinkedIn Premium for free and utilize the free learning classes to prepare.

   I actually started using LinkedIn Learning today. Very helpful.
   Thanks.

   So glad it helped! If you decide to stop using when then free month ends, you can do another free month in a year.

   Not sure what industry the role is for, but when it comes to senior-level role it's often about leadership and impact. Can you talk about ways you've moved the business forward? Have you done something that resulted in $X more revenue or brought in X number of new clients? Have you developed a new product or service offering? Have you led a team or hired new staff? For executive-type positions, it is less about your involvement on smaller projects and more about the overall "before you" and "after you" picture at the company.

   Thanks Mollie! This will help be develop a great framework for the discussion as I prep. Very helpful structure for outlining my talking points.

   You may be asked to demonstrate how you have made business transformations, how you have handled difficult employee situations, what your vision for the organization would be, the largest or most broad leadership role you have held. Would be good to think through how you would respond.
   Your positivity going into the meeting and convincing yourself in advance that you can do this job and you want the job would help in the subconscious aspect of how you come across. Good luck!
