Preparation is a key to a successful interview. Does the idea of going to a job interview make you
feel a little nervous? Many people find that it is the hardest part of the employing process. But it is not
really true. The more you prepare and practice, the more comfortable you will feel. You should find out
as much as possible about the company before you go to the interview. Understand the products that
they produce and the services that they provide. It is also good to know who the customers are and who
the major competitors are. Practice makes perfect. It will also make you feel more confident and
relaxed. So, practice your answers to common questions. Make a list of questions to ask, too. Almost all
interviewers will ask if you have questions. This is a great opportunity for you to show your keenness,
enthusiasm, and knowledge.
Make a great impression. The interview is your chance to show that you are the best person for the

listening to determine if you are a good fit. He/she will be looking for a number of different qualities, in

strengths; arrive early, by about 10-15 minutes; be enthusiastic; shake hands firmly; be an active
listener; sit up straight and maintain eye contact; and ask questions
After the interview, follow up with a thank-you note. This is a chance for you to restate your interest
and how you can benefit the company. Your best bet is to try to time it so that the note gets there before
the hiring: decision is made. You should also follow up with a phone call if you do not hear back from
the employer within the specified time.
