Module 3 Interviews
An interview is a formal meeting in which a person or persons question, consult, or evaluate another person or persons. An interview reveals the views, ideas, and attitudes of the person being interviewed. There is no one best way to prepare the interview.

Dos and Donts

Do take the practice run to the location where you are having the interview. Do your research and know the type of job interview you will be encountering. Do prepare and practice for the interview, but dont memorize or over-rehearse your answers. Do dress the part for the job, the company, and the industry. And do err on the side of conservatism. Do plan to arrive 10 minutes early. Late arrival for a job interview is never excusable.

Contd..
If presented with a job application, do fill it out neatly, completely and accurately. Do bring an extra copy of your resume. Do greet the interviewers and establish good eye contact. Do show enthusiasm in the position and the company. Do stress your achievements. Dont offer any negative information about yourself.
4

Contd..
Dont inquire about salary, vacation, bonuses, retirement, or other benefits until after you have received an offer. Do close the interview by telling the interviewer(s) that you want the job and asking about the next step in the process. Do immediately take down notes after the interview concludes so that you dont forget crucial details.
