interview
Being
interviewed is a critical aspect of the hiring process. You have
already made it past the resume overview and now it is time for you to
have what might be the only face-to-face interaction with your potential
employer before they decide to hire you or not. It is essential that
you put your best foot forward and allow the interviewer to get to know
the person they’d be working with. They learned about your
accomplishments from your resume; now show them your personality and how
you handle yourself in a professional environment.
Here are 43 items to help you through the interviewing process.
18 things to do before an interview:
1.Get a good night sleep the night before. You’ll look better and feel better, allowing yourself to make the best first impression.
2.Do your research. Know the company that you are interviewing with so you can answer their questions well and in the right context. It will also show that you are truly interested in the company.
3.Eat a good breakfast. You’ll be more alert and focused.
4.Prepare questions beforehand. Know the answers to basic questions that they will most likely ask you. Also come up with a few questions about the company or position you are applying for to show that you’re interested.
5.Make a few copies of your resume and put them somewhere where you won’t forget to bring them.
