HOW TO PREPARE FOR AN INTERVIEW
Interviewing for a new job can be really exciting, but also really nerve-wracking if you are not prepared. When you come prepared, it helps you look more confident, qualified, and professional, and it can make all the difference when it comes to getting the job. Try these quick tips for preparing for your next interview.
1. Do Your Research
Going in with information about the company not only makes you stand out to an interviewer but also helps you feel more equipped to handle the interview. It is always a great idea to do some research on the company and who you are interviewing with. Check the company’s website for information like what industry the company is in, who their main customers and clients are, and what goals they may have for the position you are applying for.
2. Practice Sample Questions
One way to help calm your nerves is practicing what you are going to say beforehand. There are many online tools that provide sample interview questions. Grab a friend or family member and practice common interview questions a day or two before your interview to help you feel more comfortable with the process.
3. Dress Appropriately
When you are dressed your best, you perform your best. Make sure you know what type of job you are applying for and dress accordingly. If you are applying for a light industrial job, clean jeans and a collared shirt are appropriate. If you are applying for a clerical or professional job, try to wear a buttoned shirt, a skirt or slacks, and professional-looking shoes. Also, try to hide any inappropriate tattoos or piercings and avoid wearing too much make-up or perfume/cologne.
4. Have Everything You Need Ready To Go
