The Interview

People, people, people.. Let's talk about interviews!!!

When you go to an interview, PLEASE look your VERY BEST!

Research the position you want
Practice your interview with someone
Have some strengths memorized
Go to the location the day before
IRON clothes well
Comb your hair!!
Eat a good breakfast (before you get dressed)
Be at least 45-60min EARLY
Take a breath mint before you interview
Think before you speak
Speak clearly and don't stutter
Avoid saying "uhhh, umm"
Make good eye contact but don't look like a weirdo
Try to avoid stating any weaknesses, turn those into positives
SMILE!! This shows your positive attitude
Don't sound rehearsed, it looks like its not genuine

BE VERY SPECIFIC of what the panel is asking you. If they ask you, "Tell us about a time when...." Then do exactly that. Never be so general, it sounds as if you're making it up and you can't pull from an actual experience.

Most of these statements above are probably very common sense however maybe not to all..

The very best advice I can give is to relax and be yourself and every time I did that, I got the job I wanted.

GOOD LUCK!
