Basic Interview Tips

  • Dress appropriately.  Talk with your recruiter to determine the appropriate dress for that specific company.
  • Address the interviewer with a firm handshake.
  • Be punctual.  Make sure you know exactly where you need to go and plan your trip to allow time to find parking.
  • Bring several copies of your resume with you along with any supporting information necessary for the interview.
  • Emphasize your accomplishments and talk about how you contributed to helping the company achieve their goals.
  • Avoid "yes" and "no" responses. Answer the questions fully and provide specific examples and details.
  • Speak clearly and look the interviewer in the eye.
  • Do not make any negative remarks about present or previous employers.
