- The objective of the interview is to convince the interviewer that you are the most qualified potential team member.
- Do your homework prior to the inteview. Reading a company's annual report, brochures, newsletters, and other material, can make you an informed candidate.
- Use a firm handshake and smile when you meet people, address them by name, and maintain eye contact during the conversation.
- Present a profile of yourself in under two minutes ... a two minute commercial.
- Place yourself in the position of the inteviewer so you can listen and respond from his or her perspective.
- Demonstrate interest in the company, the job and especially the interviewer.
- Prove you are capable of performing rather than merely describing. Provide examples and illustrations.
- Be positive, polite, and personable.
- Do not fabricate, guess or generalize, and do not engage the interviewer in a debate.
- If you do not understand the question, say: "I am sorry, I do not understand the question."
- Remember, you are also interviewing the company. Make sure it meets your needs.
