How to prepare for a job interview

1. Conduct basic interview research
To prepare for an interview, find out as much as you can beforehand. Call the person who scheduled your interview and ask:
 Who will you talk to? Will you meet the manager you'd work for, or will you just talk to Human Resources? What are the interviewer's
expectations?
 What's the dress code? Dress better than suggested. Most times, it's best to wear a professional suit. You'd be amazed how many
candidates show up looking like they're going to class, not presenting a professional demeanor, that is, the way you look and behave.
 Get directions to the office. Plan to leave early. Keep a phone number to call if you get stuck on the bus or in traffic. If you arrive late
and stressed, the interview will not go well.
 If you don't have a detailed job description, ask for one.
2. Learn about the company online
Do some fast research, which will give you something to talk about in addition to the job description:
 What does the company say about its products or services?
 What recent news can you discuss?
 If the company is public, the information at the bottom of its press releases will tell you a lot.
3. Think of some stories
Be ready to answer typical interview questions with a story about yourself. To prepare, write down and memorise three achievement stories.
Talk about times you've really felt proud of an achievement at work or at school.
4. Pick your outfit and go to bed early
Lay out your interview outfit the night before, get a good night's rest and always get an early start.
