An interview gives you the opportunity to showcase your qualifications to an employer, so it pays to be well prepared. The following information provides some helpful hints.
Learn about the organization. Have a specific job or jobs in mind.. Be ready to briefly describe your experience, showing how it relates it the job. Be ready to answer broad questions, such as "Why should I hire you?" "Why do you want this job?" "What are your strengths and weaknesses?" Practice an interview with a friend or relative.
Be well groomed and dress appropriately. Do not chew gum or smoke.
Learn the name of your interviewer and greet him or her with a firm handshake. Relax and answer each question concisely. Use proper English—avoid slang. Use body language to show interest—use eye contact and don’t slouch.
Ask questions about the position and the organization, but avoid questions whose answers can easily be found on the company Web site and also about salary and benefits. Thank the interviewer when you leave and shake hands.
