|
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. |
