Logistical Preparation *  \na) If you don’t have one already, obtain a complete job description if possible. Save it off-line somewhere – it is not uncommon for companies to remove job descriptions from websites once they have enough candidates.  \nb) If it’s not provided, ask if this will be a behavioral, case, and/or panel interview. See tips for each below. Often, they will share this information, but it’s possible the person arranging the interview does not know. In this case, ask the Career & Practicum Office or your networks if they have heard what to expect.  \nc) Determine what style of dress is appropriate. Usually, it’s safe to err on the business formal side. Business suits are acceptable for an interview unless the organization is extremely informal. In this case, slacks and a blazer might be more appropriate versus a business suit. These settings may include community health centers, NGO’s and nonprofits.  \nd) If you are unfamiliar with the location, consider doing a dry-run. Also, determine commuting time needed and shoot to be there 15 minutes prior. Note: If you’re there any earlier, it’suncomfortable for the interviewer who knows you are waiting.  \ne) Be prepared and bring an extra copy or two of your resume, a notepad, pen, and identification. Organizations will often ask for you ID upon entering their location.  \n**Note: For phone and Zoom/video interviews, please see special tips on pages 8-11.  \n2. Research  \na) Go through the website for services they offer, clients/patients served, annual report (if public), press releases, etc. Know their mission and expertise.  \nb) Research the company’s client base, competition, and learn about general challenges in their field. For example, if you’re interviewing at a consulting firm, they often ask why you are interested in them versus other firms.  \nc) Use LinkedIn, your networks, and the power of the internet to learn about who you’ll be interviewing with.  \nd) If you can’t find them, ask for names and titles of the people interviewing you. Check them out in LinkedIn and/or ask your networks for any information.  \n2. Anticipating and Preparing for Interview Questions  \nRemember, an interview is as much about being a fit with a team as it is the skills , experiences, and attributes you can bring to the table. A conversational yet professional tone goes a long way.  \na) Review the job description and pretend every bullet – under both responsibilities and qualifications  \n– will be turned into a question during the interview. For example, if you will be responsible for analyzing large data sets, they may ask,“Tell me about your experience analyzing large data sets.”  \nb) Prepare your “Tell me about yourself” answer, often the first question. See below example.  \nc) Prepare for typical interview questions as well as behavioral questions. Behavioral questions are when an interviewer wants to understand how you handled a previous situation. See sample questions below.  \nd) Prepare examples of situations where you demonstrated each quality or skill. The S.T.A. R.T. method is excellent for answering behavioral questions. See below example.  \ne) Review your resume thoroughly. Be prepared for an interviewer to probe on anything written on your resume. For example,“Can you tell me more about this project?” Refresh yourself, particularly for older jobs.  \nf) Be prepared for questions about what you would do if you were hired into the role. For example, if it’s a project management role, you may get a question like,“Tell me about how you would go about starting this project. Walk me through the steps you would take.”  \ng) If you anticipate a case interview, check out the Career & Practicum Office’s consulting webpage. Also, search for YouTube videos of case interviews to give you a sense of the flow. If possible, read through the book,“Case in Point” by Marc Consentino. See below for more tips and resources.  \nh) U","cbCaitSIERISJC5E","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaitSIERISJC5E","pdf",498478,18,"English","# Logistical Preparation\n# Research\n# Anticipating and Preparing for Interview Questions\n# Preparing for Salary Questions\n# Preparing Your References – Before Your Offer","[{\"question\":\"What logistical steps should be completed before an in-person or phone/Zoom interview?\",\"answer\":\"Obtain the job description, confirm whether the interview is behavioral/case/panel, choose appropriate business dress, plan arrival time, and bring extra resume copies, a notepad, a pen, and identification.
