You should find out as much as possible about the company before you go to the interview.<br />
Understand the products that they produce and the services that they provide. It is also good to<br />
know who the customers are and who the major competitors are. Practice makes perfect. It will<br />
also make you feel more confident and relaxed. So, practice your answers to common<br />
questions. Make a list of questions to ask, too. Almost all interviewers will ask if you have<br />
questions. This is a great opportunity for you to show your keenness, enthusiasm, and<br />
knowledge.<br />
Make a great impression. The interview is your chance to show that you are the best person for<br />
the job. Your application or resume has already exhibited that you are qualified. Now it is up to<br />
you to show how your skills and experience match this position and this company. The<br />
employer will be looking and listening to determine if you are a good fit. He/she will be<br />
looking for a number of different qualities, in addition to the skills that you possess. To make<br />
the best impression, dress appropriately; express your strengths; arrive early, by about 10-15<br />
minutes; be enthusiastic; shake hands firmly; be an active listener; sit up straight and maintain<br />
eye contact; and ask questions<br />
After the interview, follow up with a thank-you note. This is a chance for you to restate your<br />
interest and how you can benefit the company. Your best bet is to try to time it so that the note<br />
gets there before the hiring: decision is made. You should also follow up with a phone call if<br />
you do not hear back from the employer within the specified time.<br />
