You should always approach an interview in a business-like manner, which means research, preparation, and professionalism are essential. The purpose of the interview is not only for the interviewer to assess who you are and your qualifications, but also for you to assess whether the position and the company environment are a good fit for you-remember, this is your career.  \nHow to Prepare forYour Interview  \nPreparation is the key to successful interviewing. Whether you are interviewing for an internship, co-op, or full-time job, doing your research and preparing ahead of time will help you make a good impression and demonstrate your interest in the position. You should expect to spend at least 2 hours preparing for  \nyour interview, and probably longer if you are seeking a full-time position. It is completely normal to feel nervous going into an interview, but being as prepared as possible will help you feel confident and do well.  \nThe Career Development Center (CDC) recommends that your preparation involves researching the following areas:  \nTHE COMPANY  \nWHAT TO PREPARE HOW TO PREPARE  \nKnow about the company with whom you are interviewing:  \n• What does the company do?  \n• What products or services does it provide?  \n• What industry is it in?  \n• Is it working on any new projects or initiatives?  \n• Has it been in the news recently?  \n• What is its reputation in the 􀀃eld?  \n• What makes it unique from its competitors?  \n• Why do you want to work for that company speci􀀃cally?  \nSources:  \n• Company website  \n• News  \n• Company social media sites  \n• Annual Report  \n• Hoover’s Company Pro􀀃les Database (accessible through Gordon Library website under databases)  \n• Career Search Database (accessible through JobFinder)  \n• Gordon Library company information databases (search by subject)  \n• Alumni or personal connections  \nTHE POSITION  \nWHAT TO PREPARE HOW TO PREPARE  \nKnow about the job you are applying for:  \n• Prepare examples of how you have done each task or displayed each skill listed in the job description.  \n• Research anything you are not familiar with in the job description.  \n• Be able to speak to which tasks excite you the most and which ones you want to learn more about.  \nResearch:  \n• Read the job description (tasks, quali􀀃cations, requirements) .  \n• Look up anything with which you are not familiar.  \nCareer  \nDevelopment  1  \nCenter  \nThe InTervIew Process  \nYOURSELF  \nWHAT TO PREPARE HOW TO PREPARE  \nKnow how to talk about yourself:  \n• Prepare a two-minute response to the question,“Tell me about yourself.”  \n• Make sure you can talk about everything on your resume and how it relates to the job.  \n• Know how to connect your education, experiences, and skills back to the job.  \n• Be prepared to talk about your strengths and weaknesses.  \nResearch:  \n• Complete your resume.  \n• Be able to talk about your strengths, weaknesses, academic performance, career interests, personal goals, work experience, special skills, and values.  \nThe Day of Your Interview When to Arrive  \nYou should arrive at least 10-15 minutes early for your appointment. Plan how you will get to the company ahead of time and test the route, if possible. On the day of the interview, leave plenty of extra time to account for traffic and other unforeseen circumstances.
