Interviewing Style

Job Seeker Tips for Successful Interviews

  • Research the Company prior to your first visit. A lot of useful information can be found in the company's quarterly reports and recent business news.
  • Know the Company's web site, products and services.
  • Allow sufficient commuting time to arrive 10 minutes early.
  • If you arrive too early, bring a book or magazine and wait in the parking lot.
  • Make a good impression. Practice greeting the interviewer, your handshake, and your closing.
  • Be prepared to discuss specific progams or projects that are relevant to the position. This will help to eliminate that uncomfortable silence after the interviewer asks a question.
  • Be sure that your correspondence to the prospective employer is neat, addressed to the correct individual, and free of grammatical and spelling errors.
  • Always send a follow-up thank you letter, via regular mail or e-mail.
  • On the day of the interview, be prepared, be prompt, and be professional.
