Job Interview Tips
Practice
Practice answering interview questions and practice your responses
to the typical job interview questions and answers most employers ask. Think of
actual examples you can use to describe your skills. Providing evidence of your
successes is a great way to promote your candidacy.
Prepare, Prepare a response so you are ready for the question “What
do you know about our company. Know the interviewer’s name and use it during
the job interview. If you’re not sure of the name, call and ask prior to the
interview. Try to relate what you know about the company when answering
questions.
Get
Ready, Make sure your interview attire is
neat, tidy and appropriate for the type of firm you are interviewing with.
Bring a nice portfolio with copies of your resume. Include a pen and paper for
note taking.
Be
On Time, Be on time for the interview. On
time means five to ten minutes early. If need be, take some time to drive to
the office ahead of time so you know exactly where you are going and how long
it will take to get there.
Stay
Calm, During the job interview try to
relax and stay as calm possible. Take a moment to regroup. Maintain eye contact
with the interviewer. Listen to the entire question before you answer and pay
attention – you will be embarrassed if you forget the question!
Show
What You Know, Try to relate what you know about
the company when answering questions. When discussing your career
accomplishments match them to what the company is looking for.
Follow Up, Always follow-up with a thank you note reiterating
your interest in the position. If you interview with multiple people send each
one a thank you note
