It's totally worthwhile to learn about interviews, successful and unsuccessful, both as an interviewer and interviewee.

"Just be honest and be yourself" is necessary but insufficient. You really should understand how interviewers think and work to be interviewed successfully.

My experience has been that I interview worse for having "researched" interviewing. It gets me trying to answer what they want to hear rather than what I actually would normally say. That is a bad way to interview.

Also as an interviewer, the people trying to answer "the right way" never get past first round. I want someone that's genuine, not someone just trying to pick the right answers to get the job.
