INTERVIEW TIPS You have secured an interview. The odds of getting hired have increased significantly as most positions attract applications from many candidates. Your goal should always be an offer, unless you determine the position is not the right fit during the interview. Here are a few simple guidelines to follow to increase your chances of getting the offer. • Show up for the interview on time, preferably 10 minutes early. This will give you a chance to gather your thoughts. • Be prepared. Do your homework on the company, and the market it serves. • Have a list of questions for the interviewer. They should be about the job, the company and its culture, and employer expectations. Let them bring up the subject of compensation unless you are in a final interview. • Maintain good posture and eye contact. • It is better to err on the conservative side when dress is involved. • Try to get a good night’s sleep prior to the interview. • Relax, and let your personality show as people hire those they like. Good luck!
