Interviewing Tips

Always be prepared.

Have some basic knowledge of the company and the job you are applying for. 

*  Dress appropriately. 
*  Arrive on time or a few minutes early.
*   Do not chew gum. 
*  Have prepared questions to ask the interviewer. 

Remember that your body language is an important part of the interview.

If you fill out an application make sure your information is correct. Do not lie on an application. 

Make sure your past dates of employment are correct. Most companies will perform reference checks. 

*  Keep your answers to questions short and to the point. Don't elaborate on anything 
    unless you are asked. 

*  Greet your interviewer with a smile and firm handshake. 
*   Sit upright when interviewed and try to keep eye contact. 
*   Don't make any negative comments about past employers. 
*   Your first interview is not the time to ask about salary, benefits, vacations etc. If you are
     asked about salary, tell them what you earned in the past. Don't lock yourself out of a 
     job by demanding too much money. 

 To be enthusiastic and confident is encouraged but donft over does it!
