Type up a list of common questions asked during interviews and start to think of answers.  Practice the answers, but try not to sound scripted.  There's several sites that list common questions.  Type in "interview questions" in Google to find them.  The most important thing to do is have questions ready to ask THEM.  If an interviewer asks if you have any questions and you say "no", you're pretty much off their list.  Type up some questions if you don't think you can remember any... be sure to ask questions about the job and/or organization, not about the interviewer or non relevant topics.  Also do not ask about salary unless you're offered the job. Finally, get a good night's sleep, dress to impress, take out any piercings, and pop a mint and eat it before meeting the interviewer.  Good luck!\n\nPS--bring copies of your resume and references also.

DO:  research the company and the posiion before you go, that way your answers will relate to them and how your skills will fit the job and the company, dress appropriately for the interview, and look people in the eye\n\nDON'T:  talk bad about past jobs and/or bosses, try to make jokes that may be offensive, or give only yes or no answers...provide a reason for your answer

For me, I pray for Godly wisdom that I may answer the questions to the best of my abilities.  Also, be prepared to answer questions that you may not necessarily think are important, but have an underlying value to the interviewer.\n\nMost importantly, be yourself, be professionally dressed (regardless of company), and be confident in your answers.\n\nI wouldn't drink anything with caffeine and listen to classical music on the way to the interview.  It will help keep your nerves calmed.

You must always prepare yourself for an interview. Surely, interviews follow formal questions and look for specific answers and that's why it is important to prepare yourself. How do you do this?\n1. Read the advertisement carefully and pick out the competencies that the employer is looking for.\n2. Match your competencies with these.\n3. Use your competencies as a selling tool during the interview\n\nIf you cannot sell your experience, qualifications and achievements to the employer, it is hardly likely that they will employ you in a sales position.\n\n\nHere are some useful links:\n\nhttp://www.bc.edu/offices/careers/skills/interview/questionsasked/\nhttp://www.bc.edu/offices/careers/skills/interview/questionstoask/\nhttp://interview.monster.com/archives/interviewquestions/\nhttp://ceres.cals.ncsu.edu/career/site/filelibrary/questions_interviewers_are_likely_to_ask.pdf#search=%22questions%20that%20interviewers%20ask%22\nhttp://static.jobtrak.com/academy/skills_html/decisions.html\n\nRehearse the answers to each question with a friend or in front of a mirror and do so with confidence. This will prepare you for the formal interviews. All the best!

Dress as you would for any interview.  Be neat and well-groomed.  Don't go in shorts, tee shirt, sandals, sneakers, running shoes, etc.  A nice tailored shirt and pants for a male, and pants and matching top or skirt and blouse for a female.  Don't wear jeans.  They should be dressier pants. You don't need formal wear (dress and matching jacket, or three piece suit and tie), but dress nicely.

Make sure your resume has been proofread.  It also is important to include keywords on a resume, as most are intially searched for rather than read by a human.\n\nFor the job interview make sure you feel as relaxed as possible.  While your answers should not be scripted you should come across as being prepared.  You should also have a couple of questions to ask the interviewer that show an interest and knowledge about the company/job.

If the ad gives an address and the times that you can come in for an interview, then just show up for the interview.  If it gives a phone number to call, call and set up an appointment for an interview. \n\nIn both cases, bring a resume on hand with you so that just in case they ask for it, you are prepared.  During the interview, if they don't bring it up, mention that you have one with you anyway.  Again, they will know that you are prepared.

Let's see...when I went to my interview, I wore dress pants, a button-up top, and cute heels. I would dress up a little, but not go overboard! There will be students who show up in jeans, which is clearly unprofessional and tacky! Over-dressing appears that you are desperate though! So, choose wisely!\n\nSome tips:\n1. Be thinking of questions that they are going to ask you...it helps when you don't have to think for two minutes to answer a question!\n2. Don't be nervous! They want to see your true personality! Make jokes(small ones)!\n3. look the person(s) in the eye!\n4. Come prepared! Know your experience, previous grades, volunteer work etc....it helps to review b/c when you are nervous, it is easier to forget!\n5. Lastly, smile!

(m)\n\nDefine in detail how you want to perform in the interview: Describe to yourself in words the way you want to be.  How would you look and sound to a neutral observer? e.g. I see myself in an interview room sitting by a desk.  I look relaxed, and I am smiling, alert and energetic.  I am paying close attention to the other people in the room.  My posture is upright and I am making conversation easily and effortlessly. I exude confidence. \n\nMentally rehearse the interview from the perspective of an observer: In your imagination visualize yourself at the interview comfortable and at ease meeting people, feeling relaxed and confident. Pretend that you are observing yourself from the other side of the room.  The trick here is to imagine events unfolding in vivid 3D with rich colors.  For many people, making the image large and close also helps to make it feel more realistic.  Have fun playing with the image until it seems as real as watching T.V. or a movie screen.  \nTake care also to introduce sounds - maybe the scratching of a pen on paper, the squeak of a moving chair or the sound of your own voice exuding authority and confidence.   You can make sounds come to life by turning up the volume as you imagine that you are listening to full, resonant sounds in the room so that it is as if you are really there. Introduce feeling as well - sense the atmosphere in the room, the  temperature and mood, and soak up the aura of success that you exude in the imagined picture. \n\nThen introduce different scenarios for different types of people you may encounter. Imagine talking to someone who is putting you under pressure!  See yourself politely dealing with everything thrown at you.  What will you do if you are left sitting there facing a wall of silence?  See yourself acting decisively and without fear to move onto the next opportunity to create rapport.  Picture yourself at ease whoever you talk to, it is especially important to consider worst-case scenarios and to visualize yourself handling each challenge with unstoppable confidence. \n\nMentally rehearse the interview from your own perspective:  When you are pleased with the imagined performance you are producing, step inside the image of yourself and run through the scenarios again as if YOU are now doing it.  See, feel and hear it as if it is really happening. This time, you are looking out into the world from your own eyes, so your arms are directly in front of you with people facing you, as you feel your clothes on your body.  Allow it all to unfold in great detail - make it as real as possible by letting your imagination free to create a rich and colorful panoramic view of a successful day.  Finally, pay special attention again to feelings, really spend time imagining yourself feeling exactly the way you want to feel, and then crank it up and double the intensity until it could not possibly get any better. Then, imagine it even better again!  \n\nSet up a peak performance signal:  Ask yourself - what signal will you use as a reminder to use your ability to perform in this way?  I use the feeling of sitting on my own and getting tense as my mind goes blank.  The signal can be something you see, feel or hear inside or outside yourself and it must happen at or close to the point of wanting to speak to someone.  Other examples include seeing yourself surrounded by a group of strangers, hearing someone ask you your opinion, or the feeling that you want to be more outgoing even as you feel yourself getting more self-conscious right now - why not use self-consciousness to trigger better communication skills! \nImagine the signal happening and visualize yourself performing at your best in the interview. \n\nSome final points. Like anything in life it takes time to get really good at mental rehearsal. Using this visualization technique for twenty minutes a day will train your brain to perform new behaviors. The results will astound you.  \n\nJudge mental rehearsal by trying it out

Make sure and tell things that are related to the position that you are hiring for. Have a story to go with the different qualities that you are stressing.  For instance, if you say that you have a lot of initiative share a story about a past position where you showed that quality.  Don't talk about your personal life--that is not what the interviewer wants to hear about at this stage.

Dress nice, be confident, don't be late, don't ramble on, and when asked to tell the interviewer a little about yourself, do not talk about your childhood or life story.Tell them what you have accomplished and things about you that would make you an asset to their company.(I'm hard working, honest, eager to learn new things, on so on.)

The best way to prepare for an interview is to tell stories and share experiences.  Review and know the things that you have put on your resume or job application.  That is the starting point.  Now during your interview expand on the information that you have already provided to your potential new employer.  Provide examples of how you may have handled a problem with an co-worker, or resolved a business process within your department.  Find examples that started out negative but you turned into a positive.  Be specific during the interview on how you accomplished the positive.  Examples would be a negative customer(external/internal) that you helped turn into a positive.  A good thing would be to write all this down and then review your notes before going in for the interview.  Be as detailed as possible during the interview.  And one good question to ask before you wrap things up is, "What kind of individual are you looking for to fill this position?"  This question is hardly ever asked.  What it allows is for you to hit on any points that you may have missed while you were interviewing.  You make a mental checklist while they tell you who they are looking for.  This little bit of preparation will help you ace that interview.
