Typically, only the top contenders are invited for interviews. This real-time professional dialogue allows decision-makers to get to know candidates beyond their qualifications on paper. As an applicant, the interview is your chance to convince the interviewer that you are an excellent candidate by informing them of your skills and qualifications. It is also a chance to learn more about the organization and assess whether the position aligns with your values and goals. Call or visit Career Services for interview prep help and to schedule a mock interview. We will tailor the mock interview to the position you’re seeking and provide in-depth feedback to help you improve.  \nPreparing for an Interview  \nYour goal in any interview is to persuade the interviewer that you are an excellent candidate. Take the time to develop your argument so that you can walk in with your own agenda for the discussion. What makes you a great fit for this position? Remember that all the interviewer knows about you is the information contained in your application. Your task is to educate them about your skills and experience, convincing them that you are the best pick for the job. Being well-prepared requires a solid working knowledge of the industry, the organization, the specific role, and your own qualifications.  \n• Know the industry. Every field has values, norms, and expectations. What do you know about the culture of your industry? Is your field more formal or more casual? What are the values of your field? What skills are most important? Do research and consult colleagues and mentors.  \n• Know the organization. What is the organization’s mission? What do you know about the culture, structure, and short-and long-term goals of the company? Review the organization’s website and all available materials, do your own research, and speak to contacts if possible.  \n• Know the role. What is this specific position, and how does it fit within the larger organization? What skills and tasks are most crucial in this role? Is the organization hoping to expand or change the role in any way? Comb through the job posting line by line to assess exactly how your qualifications match. Review all available materials and speak to contacts if possible.  \n• Know yourself. What are your most important skills and qualifications? What is your most relevant experience? Review your resume and cover letter—these documents got you the interview and serve as your script for the conversation. Also talk it over with colleagues, friends, and family.  \nCareer Services can help you determine the expectations of your industry and provide activities and tools to help you prepare to promote yourself effectively.  \nPractice  \nJust like in any performance, practice is the key to interview success. Interviews require you to promote yourself by selling the interviewer on your qualifications. This can be uncomfortable, but the more your practice, the more natural it will feel. Write out answers to common questions on paper. Say your answers out loud in the mirror. Record yourself on your phone, listen to the recordings, and try again. Ask a trusted friend or family member to run through questions with you. Schedule a mock interview at Career Services.  \nInterview Formats and Stages  \nOrganizations use many different kinds of interviews to evaluate applicants. Get as much information as you can about the interview protocols of the employer or program. When you are offered an interview, it is appropriate to ask if there is anything you should know about the process. Interviews range from just a few minutes to one or more full days and may include a wide range of activities. Some organizations use a multi-stage interview process. Here are some types of interviews you may encounter.  \n• One on one. A traditional interview with one interviewer and one interviewee.  \n• Group interview.
