Interviewing Do's
The following tips will help you have a more productive and comfortable interview.
Do
Know the logistics – Time, location, interviewer's name and position title.
Preplan your day so that you are not rushed, preoccupied or lack sleep.
Arrive 10-15 minutes early. Being late to an interview is never excusable.
Be professional. Smile, make eye contact and maintain good posture. This starts at the front door.
Remember, your interview may actually start in the parking lot or lobby. Your potential employer and their employees are watching.
Ask questions. An interview should be a mutual exchange of information, not a one-sided conversation.
Clarify questions. Answer the interviewer's questions as specifically as possible. Relate your skills and background to the position requirements throughout the interview.
Give your qualifications. Focus on accomplishments that are most pertinent to the job.
Anticipate tough questions. Prepare to turn perceived weaknesses into strengths.
Listen. Concentrate not only on the interviewer's words, but also on the tone of voice and body language. Once you understand how the interviewer thinks, pattern your answers accordingly and you will be able to establish a better rapport.
Dress appropriately. Make your first impression a professional one. Dressing up is better than dressing down.
