Top 10 Things to Consider for the Interview
1.An interview is a conversation about what you can do for them; research the company and tailor your
responses towards substantiating how your talents and personality match the position.
2.Rehearse interview questions out loud with a friend, family member, or your Career Advisor.
3.Arrive at least 15 minutes early, but enter the premises 8-10 minutes early.
4.Bring copies of your resume and reference sheet with you to offer.
5.Use professional language and avoid slang words such as “uh,” “um,” “you know,” and “like.”
6.Body language should be professional: good posture, not slouched, good eye contact but not staring.
7.Watch the nervous habits of twirling hair, tapping a foot, or drumming fingers.
8.Smile. It‟ll help you ---and them--- relax!
9.Be prepared to offer evidence through detailed examples of times and ways and situations you used
certain technical applications, characteristics, or skills.
10.Collect their business cards so you can follow up with a thank you card or e-mail.
11.After the interview, take notes on everything you can remember and use the experience to further
develop your interview techniques.
