Interview Preparation

You submitted your resume

now what?


  • Detailed Research on the Company

    Be thorough and learn everything that you can about the company. Stocks, health plans, lawsuits,hiring practices,board of directors,etc. Most of the relevant information you need to arm yourself is going to be easily accessed on the internet, business journals or in newspaper articles.
    Interview Questions

  • Detailed Job Research

    Your cursory research on the job to which you applied should obviously should have been done by now, what you need are specific job requirement details. These facts will help you later in determining your pay if you should be offered the job in a second interview. Remember not to bring up pay during your first interview. Avoid setting a figure that you might later regret. In the same manner, putting down a low figure and then changing it during negotiations would portray you as being greedy.

  • Update & Correct Resume: Last Chance

    There is nothing worse than having an outdated resume with spelling errors. Bring extra copies of your resume and be prepared to explain everything that is listed. Get a resume that gets you hired

  • Wear Appropriate Clothing

    No matter what the job position is for ALWAYS wear business attire. This is always the most professional, even if the office attire is casual. You always want to dress one step above what is expected. Dress to impress! Make sure your outfit is clean and pressed and you shoes are clean and polished and match the outfit. Boots with a suit are NOT appropriate. Nothing breaks a business outfit like a dirty, dusty pair of shoes.

  • Where Is the Interview?

    Imagine that today is the interview day. See yourself driving to the location, parking and entering the building. Make sure that you arrive in plenty of time to give yourself a last minute head to toe check. Smile and proceed to the reception desk. Greet the receptionist with all due respect as this is the first person you will have contact with and they know EVERYONE and EVERYTHING in that office.

    • Get directions form Google maps, Mapquest or your GPS unit.
    • Do a trial run to see how much time it takes to arrive.
    • Arrive on time. It shows you are inconsiderate of the interviewers time or that you did not care enough to find out ahead of time.
    • If unusual circumstances occur on your way to the interview (accident, unforeseeable road construction…) CALL
