Once you arrive at the interview, it is time to present yourself as the person for the job. Here are some tips:
- Be on time, actually, be 10 minutes early.
- Shut your cell phone off, or don’t even bring it with you.
- Dress appropriately. You should always dress one level nicer than the dress code. If they dress business casual, wear a tie, if they wear ties, wear a suit.
- Let the front desk person know you are there, reaffirm the name of your interviewer, thank him or her for their time.
- Make sure you are not chewing gum, or a mint.
- Be prepared with an informative statement about yourself, companies you have worked for, transferable skills, etc.
- Be positive and kind, talk about your successes in your career.
- Ask questions about the job position and the expectations.
- Follow up with your interviewer; send a thank you note as well as calling a few days later.
