The Cash Trio

If you have an looming job interview, these top points will help you to set up stronger

1. Think, an interview is not an verbal test. This is your chance to pick up about the company in addition to being their opportunity to pick up about yourself. Providing questions not only will help you decide if you need the vacancy if they offer it to you, it also indicates that youre really curious in the department.
2. Take the time to do some research about the corporation”suss out their web site for their mission, leadership, etc. Youll be able to ask informed enquiries and show that youve done your homework.
3. Make sure youre at your best for the interview. Get a good nights sleep but Dont sleep too late, and eat a good breakfast and (if your interview is in the afternoon) lunch. Then brush your teeth.
4. Keep in mind the importance of a first impression. Ensure youre trimmed fittingly.
5. Arrive ten to fifteen minutes early. Dont surface half an hour ahead, but Do not come hurrying in at the last minute. And coming in late is the kiss of death for any interview”if you are two minutes late for one crucial meeting, how does the interviewer know you wont be fifteen minutes late to work every day?
6. Bring an extra copy of your resume, and your references. Find something neat to carry them in (Dont carry your backpack!).
7. Use your strongest business manners”give a firm handshake and wait to be asked to take a seat. Once you are seated, sit up straight and Do not fidget or wiggle (if you have an opportunity, a Mock or Practice Interview could be a lot of help). AVOID: scratching, pulling up your socks or hose, adjusting any part of your clothing (do that before you come in), touching your face or mouth, playing with your hair or anything remotely like that.
8. Make lots of eye contact to convey honesty and confidence”but remember its not a staring contest.
9. Ooze professionalism. Pay attention to the interviewer, be self-confident (if you Dont toot your own horn, theres no brass section behind you to fill in), polite, and articulate.
10. Follow up is critical. Send Off a thank you note to the interviewer by a means befitting to the job (if its computer-centered, e-mail may be acceptable; for other kinds of job, go with presentable stationary or notecards).
