1. Make some Research
Ask colleagues, friends, and faculty about the organization, and about any personal contacts at the organization they might have. Look at the organization's home page. Knowing about the job will help you prepare a list of your qualifications so that you can show, point by point, why you are the best candidate.
2. Practice, practice, practice
Prepare a succinct, clear answer to each of the questions in the interview questions section. Practice answering questions with a friend, or in front of a mirror. Ask your friend to give you constructive criticism on your speaking style, mannerisms, and poise.
3. Be prompt and professional
Always arrive early. If you don't know where the organization is located, call for exact directions in advance. Leave some extra time for any traffic, parking, or unpredictable events. The best time to arrive is approximately 5 - 10 minutes early. Give yourself the time to read your résumé one more time, to catch your breath, and to be ready for the interview.
4. Dress for success
Wear a professional formal suit. This point cannot be emphasized enough. First impressions are extremely important in the interview process. It is also important that you feel comfortable.
5. Be organized
Carry a portfolio notepad or at the very least a manila file folder labeled with the employer's name. Bring extra résumés and have the names, addresses and phone numbers of references, in case the employer asks. Also, bring a list of questions for the employer. You may refer to your list of questions to be sure you've gathered the information you need to make a decision.
6. Know yourself
You will make the interview process easier for the employer if you volunteer relevant information about yourself. Think about how you want to present your strengths, experiences, education, work style, skills, and goals. Be prepared to supplement all your answers with examples that support the statements you make. Think about how you can answer difficult questions accurately and positively, while keeping each answer brief.
7. Show your interest
You should let the interviewer see that you are interested in that positions
8. Be honest
An interview gives the employer a chance to get to know you. While you do want to market yourself to the employer, answer each question with an honest response.
9. Be positive
Always think of something positive about an experience and talk about that. You should also be enthusiastic. If you are genuinely interested in the job, let the interviewer know that.
