Preparation is a key to a successful interview. Does the idea of going to a job interview make

you feel a little nervous? Many people find that it is the hardest part of the employing process. But it
is not really true. The more you prepare and practice, the more comfortable you will feel. You should
find out as much as possible about the company before you go to the interview. Understand the
products that they produce and the services that they provide. It is also good to know who the
customers are and who the major competitors are. Practice makes perfect. It will also make you feel
more confident and relaxed. So, practice your answers to common questions. Make a list of questions
to ask, too. Almost all interviewers will ask if you have questions. This is a great opportunity for you
to show your keenness, enthusiasm, and knowledge.
Make a great impression. The interview is your chance to show that you are the best person
for the job. Your application or résumé has already exhibited that you are qualified. Now it is up to
you to show how your skills and experience match this position and this company. The employer will
be looking and listening to determine if you are a good fit. He/she will be looking for a number of
different qualities, in addition to the skills that you possess. To make the best impression, dress

interest and how you can benefit the company. Your best bet is to try to time it so that the note gets
there before the hiring decision is made. You should also follow up with a phone call if you do not
hear back from the employer within the specified time.

is not really true. The more you prepare and practice, the more comfortable you will feel. You should
find out as much as possible about the company before you go to the interview. Understand the
products that they produce and the services that they provide. It is also good to know who the
customers are and who the major competitors are. Practice makes perfect. It will also make you feel
more confident and relaxed. So, practice your answers to common questions. Make a list of questions
to ask, too. Almost all interviewers will ask if you have questions. This is a great opportunity for you
to show your keenness, enthusiasm, and knowledge.
Make a great impression. The interview is your chance to show that you are the best person
for the job. Your application or résumé has already exhibited that you are qualified. Now it is up to
you to show how your skills and experience match this position and this company. The employer will
be looking and listening to determine if you are a good fit. He/she will be looking for a number of
different qualities, in addition to the skills that you possess. To make the best impression, dress
appropriately; express your strengths; arrive early, by about 10-15 minutes; be enthusiastic; shake
hands firmly; be an active listener; sit up straight and maintain eye contact; and ask questions.
After the interview, follow up with a thank-you note. This is a chance for you to restate your
interest and how you can benefit the company. Your best bet is to try to time it so that the note gets

there before the hiring decision is made. You should also follow up with a phone call if you do not
hear back from the employer within the specified time.
