PREPARING FOR THE INTERVIEW ;
Keep in mind that resumes/applications do not hire, hiring managers do. So, let your preparation and positive attitude:))) be the key to your success in an interview.
Research before the interview:
- The Company's website
- The company's Youtube channel
- Review your application and resume, and be prepared to support past accomplishments with specific information targeted toward the position requirements. Be sure to focus on your paid and non-paid experience. Don’t assume the interviewer knows everything about you.
- Practice interviewing. Research and review typical interview questions to help you develop a framework for your responses.
- Be flexible with scheduling and allow sufficient time for the interview. Be sure to ask for specifics regarding the time, location, and point of contact.
DURING THE INTERVIEW
- Plan to arrive early. Keep in mind that security/access requirements and time to get on the site may vary by location. Remember you get one chance to make a first impression.
- Be prepared to summarize your experience in about 30 seconds and describe what you bring to the position.
- Listen carefully to each question asked. Answer questions as directly as possible. Focus on your achievements relevant to the position using examples of how your knowledge, skills, and abilities fit the job. Be sure to ask the interviewer to restate a question if further clarification is needed.
- Remain positive:))))
- Avoid negative comments about past employers.
- Remain engaged by giving your full attention to the interviewer.
- Be sure to ask any final questions about the organization or the position. Also, ask about the next steps in the selection process to include timeframes.

Interviewing is a critical part of the selection process and provides an opportunity for you to describe further your experience, education, and training.
It is also a chance for you to gain a better understanding of the organization and the position. The job interview is a two-way discussion between you and the interviewer. The interviewer is attempting to determine if you have the skills the position requires, and you are attempting to determine if you will accept the position if the job is offered. Both of you are trying to gain as much information as possible to make an informed decision.
