The Interview Do ... 1. Arrive five to ten minutes early for your appointment. If you absolutely cannot make the interview on time, call before the scheduled appointment. 2. Bring a copy of resume to the interview. Always have an extra copy with you. If you are asked to fill out an application, do so, even if the information is on your resume. 3. Greet the interviewer with a firm handshake. Smile; be alert and interested. Keep the interview on an upbeat tempo. Maintain good eye contact and sit up straight. 4. Relax and think before you speak. Let the interviewer do most of the talking, and listen carefully; but keep up your end of the conversation. Answer questions in an articulate and organized manner. Project self-confidence by speaking positively about your abilities, achievements, and willingness to acquire new skills. Ask appropriate job-related questions, and take notes. 5. Get business cards. Thank the interviewer for the time spent with you, express your interest in the company and leave on a positive note. |
