TEN TIPS ON PREPARING FOR A JOB INTERVIEW Your hard work sending out all those cover letters and resumes has finally paid off - you’ve been called in for a face-to-face job interview. Congratulations! But now is not the time to sit back and think about how you’re going to spend your new salary; you’ve got a lot of work to do. The better prepared you are beforehand, the better your chances are of walking out of the interview with a confident smile on your face that says, “I think 1 got the job!”

Here are 10 important tips to help your next interview lead to your next job:

7. Do your homework.Research the company beforehand so that you can showcase that knowledge during the interview. This will boost your credibility with the interviewer and will help you to formulate intelligent questions to ask him or her.

2. Know where you 're going.Make sure to find out where the office is and how to get there. Save yourself time and unnecessary stress by knowing these things before heading to the interview.

3. Look the part.Your clothing should be neat, pressed, and professional looking. As it can be difficult to know the culture of the office environment beforehand, err on the side of conservative.

4. Rehearse beforehand.Prior to your interview, prepare answers to common questions the interviewer is likely to ask, such as: What are your strengths and weaknesses? Why do you want to work here? Why should we hire you? and the ever popular: Tell me about yourself.

5. Secure your references.Find at least three key people — former supervisors, colleagues, or instructors - who are willing to serve as your professional references.

6. Arrive early.Be sure to arrive at least 15 minutes before the interview. Visit the restroom and check your appearance in the mirror.

7. Bring necessary documentation.Make a checklist of documents that you will need for the interview, and make sure that you have them in your briefcase before leaving home.

8. Sell yourself.The interview is your chance to shine, so now is not the time to be humble.

9. Don’t neglect to ask questions.Interviewers are often favorably impressed by candidates who show that they are knowledgeable about the organization.

10. Follow up.After the interview, don’t forget to send a handwritten note or friendly email thanking the interviewer for his or her time and consideration, as well as restating your interest and commitment to the position.

Remember to keep in mind that every interview is a valuable learning experience. Even if you don’t get this particular job, when the next interview rolls around, you’ll be much better prepared and more at ease with the whole process.
