Preparing for my first interview in 14 months - what worked for you?

I get tongue-tied when I am asked about my weaknesses. Thank you in advance. The role is similar to my old job as a machine operator. How do you prepare answers?

I record myself on my phone and listen back. The second try is always better than the first.

Arrive early, drink water and take a slow breath before you walk in. It sounds simple but it helps.
