Prepare for the Unpredictable
Taking the time to prepare for a job interview is like preparing for a presentation. The better organized and knowledgeable you are about the subject or environment, the more confident you’ll be and the more likely you’ll be able to react to any situation (or question!).
Know the Company – Learn all you can about the industry, the company, and the position for which you are applying. You’ll score points if you ask well thought out questions.
Know Yourself – Ask yourself, “How do my qualifications complement this position?” Be prepared to share work experience and demonstrate how your character and skills would benefit the company.
Perfect Paperwork – Proof, double, and triple proof any additional information you bring with you to the interview such as letters of recommendation, personal reference information, or portfolio/work examples.
Letter of Recommendation If requested, the letter of recommendation should be written by an employer, coworker or friend. It serves as a written reference for your past accomplishments and on-the-job performance.
Personal References Personal references also speak to your attributes and on-the-job performance. Include current or former coworkers and bosses as references; but check with them first to insure they will be good references. A common question for references will be, “Would you hire this person?” Keep this in mind when choosing them.
Portfolio/Work Examples Should the job interview require you to bring a portfolio or work examples, be sure they are well organized, appropriate for the position, and they illustrate your range of expertise.
What to Wear
Make a good first impression by dressing appropriately for the position you’re seeking. If you’re not sure what the appropriate attire might be, ask when scheduling the interview.
When interviewing for a professional office position, wear a well pressed suit. Dress modestly and avoid excessive cologne, jewelry, or makeup.
Look clean and polished.
What if they ask... “If you were an animal, what would you be?”
A common interview topic is: “Tell me about you,” or something similar. Think about what the interviewer is really interested in knowing about you, for example:
Your work style
Your interests
Job-specific issues or problems that you’ve resolved, how you resolved them
Work history, including why you left each position
What you learned from previous jobs or positions
Major accomplishments and contributions to the success of other companies you’ve worked for
More Tips
Make eye contact when speaking.
Be relaxed, yet engaged.
Be enthusiastic, yet genuine.
Show confidence in yourself and your abilities.
Unless you are certain the employer is interested in hiring you, save salary, vacation, bonuses, and retirement benefits discussions until after the initial interview. If the interviewer asks what salary you want, indicate what you've earned.
Ask for business cards from each person you meet with.
Be on time! Plan for traffic delays, parking issues, and slow elevators. Arrive a few minutes early. If unfamiliar with the location of the company, take a drive there the night before the interview.
After the Interview
Often overlooked, follow-up is the final step in the interview process. It’s good etiquette and reinforces your interest in the position.
Remember the business cards you asked for? They come in handy for sending a simple thank-you card to each person with whom you met at the company. In your message, summarize your conversation and re-emphasize the skills you would bring to the position. This small gesture can be the difference between the interviewer remembering you or another candidate.
