DO PREPARE
Have a pen, notepad and extra copy of your resume with you.  Place these items in a place that will be easy for you to get to.  If you currently use a daily/weekly planner, bring this with you.  You should try to arrive at your interview well rested with a clear mind.

DO GREET YOUR INTERVIEWER ENTHUSIASTICALLY

Stand up and extend your hand for their handshake.  "Good morning, I'm glad to meet you and thank you for the opportunity to be a candidate for this position."  You should smile and show your enthusiasm about the opportunity to work for their company.  remember: they are interviewing you for a job that requires a lot of energy and enthusiasm.  If you don't have this for the interview, they will not be convinced that you have the stamina required for the job.  Remember: first impressions are lasting impressions.  Are you the person the interviewer wants greeting their guests? 

DON'T ASK TOO MANY QUESTIONS

  • Don't barrage the interviewer with questions.  Remember; they are interviewing you.  LOOK THEM IN THE EYE, and nod encouragingly.  Give your interviewer a chance to volunteer answers before you ask them.
  • Reflect confidence in yourself and knowledge of your job.  However, do not seem over-confident in your abilities.  Stay relaxed and answer questions sincerely.  Be ENTHUSIASTIC!!!  Lighten up and have a sense of humor!  Let your interviewer feel at all stages of the interview that you really want the job.
DON'T DISPLAY PERSONAL HABITS
An interviewer wants your individual attention.  Personal habits distract.  These include: smoking, chewing gum, twiddling thumbs, tapping a pencil or a fork, humming, whistling, stretching, cleaning finger nails, clearing your throat or excessive "ums" in conversation.  Negative remarks will not help your cause and will seem as though you are blaming others for your shortcomings.

QUESTIONS TO EXPECT:
YOU SHOULD ANSWER QUESTIONS IN A CLEAR, POSITIVE MANNER.  AVOID SHORT YES/NO ANSWERS.  USE DEPTH AND THOUGHT IN YOUR RESPONSES.

  • "TELL ME ABOUT YOURSELF"
    This is not an open door to tell your life story.  Hit on general topics, i.e.: your professional background, hobbies, etc.
  • "WHAT ARE YOUR STRENGTHS?"
    Be prepared to give specific examples of your strengths.  An example would be, "I am highly motivated, detail-oriented."
  • "WHAT ARE YOUR WEAKNESSES?"
    Don't say, "I don't have any that I can think of".  An example would be, "I am not a good speller, so I keep a dictionary handy" or "I sometimes am impatient, so I sometimes fond myself working excessively to pick up the slack of others".
