- Research the current industrial trends, company and the position
before you interview.
- Practice answering the anticipated questions.
- Be punctual. Showing up late for an interview is taboo.
- Be sure to smile, give a firm handshake, maintain eye contact and
importantly have positive and interested body language.
- At the beginning of an interview be ready to discuss some of your
experiences (most often those outside of work) as an icebreaker.
- Listen carefully to questions and if you don't understand a
question ask for clarification.
- When answering questions, use practical examples from past
experiences that demonstrate you have the skills and personality
traits for the job.
- At the end of the interview, you will likely be asked, "do
you have any questions for us?" This is the time to ask
relative questions you have about the company and/or position.
- Make an eye contact with the interviewer as you speak. It shows
that you are confident and honest.
- Express authentic interest in this position and working as a part
of their "team." Tell the interviewer the inherent aspects
of the job that interest you.
- If you don't know the answer, say so. You can't know everything.
So, just express your willingness to learn.
