How to Prepare for an Interview
(notes from an Industry Rep)
1. Come prepared. Research the
company and what we do.
2. Present yourself well: Dress appropriately (business dress).
3. Have a resume or at least some work experience written down and some
contact information.
4. Don't bad mouth your former employer. That always leaves a question in my mind as to
what caused the situation and how it was handled.
5.
Have specific questions for the employer. Everyone gets nervous during interviews and
their mind goes blank. Bring something
to write with and write on in case you need to take notes.
6. Ask for the job. Show your
genuine interest or if it doesn't seem like a good fit, say so.
7. Tell the employer thank you for the opportunity to interview.
8. Make eye contact and show a sense of
confidence.
