Interviewing Tips

1.Do your research: Researching the organization before you interview is critical. Employers are interested in candidates who ask intelligent questions and are able to make intelligent conversation based on what they know about the organization. They are equally unimpressed by candidates who know nothing about the company or position being offered. Learn as much as you can beforehand- know the company’s products and services, profit margin, management, culture, dress code and anything else you can think of. Good sources are your career services center, a college or public library and the Internet.

2. Practice: Do practice interviews with a career counselor, friends and family members- or by yourself, in front of a mirror. Employers prize communication skills in job candidates, and the interview is your opportunity to showcase your verbal skills, so practice time is time well spent. Many career services centers offer workshops, mock interviews or one-on-one coaching. Some even make videotapes of mock interviews.

3. Be prepared: Think about how your experience in work, classes and activities can relate to the job you’re seeking.

4. Show up on time: Allow plenty of time to get to the interview; and, if possible, visit the site in advance and time how long it takes to get there.

5. Act like a professional: Dress professionally—plan your interview attire in advance and make sure your clothing is pressed, your shoes are shined and your hair and nails are well-groomed. Bring extra copies of your resume and a list of references. And, conduct yourself professionally throughout the interview.

6. Be honest: Don’t try to cover up mistakes. Instead, focus on how you learned form them.

7. Be assertive: Remember that the interview is a way for you to learn if the job is right for you. Also, speak slowly and clearly and don’t be afraid to pause for a moment to collect your thoughts.

8. Follow up: Ask the interviewer for a business card and send a thank-you note or e-mail as soon as possible.
