Interview Tips

 

 

 

·        ALWAYS bring several clean, hard copies of your Resume to the interview.  Make sure that you bring the version that we have supplied you.  Never rely on our pre-faxed/emailed version for your face-to-face meeting with an employer. After greeting the employer, always offer them a copy of your resume at the beginning of your interview.

 ·        Dress For Success. This standard varies by company and industry, however, "business casual" applies to staff, never candidates! When in doubt, professional attire is always the best choice.  It is always better to be over dressed than underdressed for an interview.

·        Fragrance, jewelry and make-up should all be worn at a bare minimum or not at all.  If you are in doubt as to whether something is appropriate to wear on an interview error on the side of conservatism.

 ·        Speak in a conversational style, "actively" listen, and respond to the questions in a way that invites dialogue. The interviewer will be more forthcoming and you will get more information about the opportunity.

 ·       At the end of the interview, do not be shy about letting the employer know you are interested. We can get you to the next step faster when you show your enthusiasm!

·        Personalize your Thank You Letter to reflect points discussed during the interview. State the immediate contributions you would make and again, let your interest show!        Edit, edit, edit...a typo could cost you the job offer!
