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.
