Always be prepared: know about the company
you’re going to see. If they have a website, browse
through it and find out what drives that company’s
business. |
|
| |
|
|
Dress professionally. First impressions always
count, so your appearance can “make or break” your
interview. Don’t let how you dress start your interview
on a bad foot. |
|
| |
|
|
Prepare yourself with answers to the questions
they might ask you during the interview. Why are you looking
to move on? Why haven’t you been working? What are
your strengths and weaknesses? |
|
| |
|
|
Bring a copy of your resume to the interview,
as they may have misplaced it. |
|
| |
|
|
Know your resume well. If your interviewer
asks you specific duties you performed at a particular
job, have that information ready to go instead of searching
through the resume to see what they’re referring
to. |
|
| |
|
|
Ask questions. Once the interviewer has asked you all
of their questions, it’s your turn to find out about
the position. Find out what your specific duties will be,
what they expect of you, and so on. Doing this will show
your interest in the position. |
|
| |
|
|
Keep good eye contact with your interviewer. Don’t
fidget and look at your shoes when answering their question.
And don’t look at your watch! There is nowhere more
important that you need to be than in that interview. |
|
| |
|
|
Thank your interviewer for their time at the end of the
interview. |
|
| |
|
|
Send a thank you card to the interviewer. It will show
them your interest in the position and your professionalism. |
