- Don't be dishonest, always tell the truth about yourself in the most flattering light.
- Don't include salary history or requirements.
- Don't include references.
- Don't include accomplishments that do not support your professional goals.
- Anticipate –Put yourself in the interviewer's position. What do you believe the interviewer is most interested in? Why do you think you have been invited to interview?
- Research –What are the primary functions of the line of business? What are the success factors for the job? Is there a job description available?
- Assess –Think about your skills, abilities, knowledge, interests, traits, values and accomplishments. Match them to what you know about the job. Consider which ones you should highlight.
- Prepare Answers –Think about what the interviewer may ask, determine what the best answer is and write it down.
- Prepare Questions – Interviewing is a two-way street. By asking thoughtful questions, you communicate your interest and learn a lot about the job. Choose two or three questions to ask your interviewer. Avoid asking a lot of questions about vacation time or breaks.
- Practice – It may seem awkward, but it is the best way to come across well in an interview. Practice your own "great responses" with others or in front of a mirror until you appear relaxed and at ease.
- Follow-up – Send a brief follow-up letter to the interviewer. Keep in mind that the many job searchers will not send a follow-up letter. Sending one can become a competitive advantage.
