Preparation and practice is a key component to successful interviewing.  \nWe recommend you to attend one or more of the interview workshops the WBG Career Advisory Services offers. Regarding the Interviewing Basics, we strongly recommend to also take our E-learning course “Skills for Successful Interviewing”. There are also face-to-face courses on interviewing. A full list of our monthly seminars and E-learningscan be found at  \n[https://careerdev](https://careerdev)  \nor you can schedule an appointment with a Career Advisor. This handbook is a self-directed resource to complement what you learn in a workshop, as well as, to help you prepare to meet with a Career Advisor for a more productive session.  \n2  \nContacted for an Interview?  \nBEFORE THE INTERVIEW:  \n> Respond promptly to show interest. Express thanks for the opportunity and get specifics on logistics: address, special entry requirements, and the names of those with whom you will be interviewing. You will need these names so that you can research these individuals prior to your meeting.  \n> Research the interviewers, the organization, and the sector/department/ division. In addition to reading, talk with others who might have knowledge. Based on what you learned, prepare questions you can ask about the organization, department, and/or position. Show, through these questions, that you are knowledgable and that you have done your research.  \n> Review the position announcement and the value you will bring. Make a list of what is required and desired; then, make a comparable list of what you can bring to the organization to meet these requirements. Think about experience, strengths, education, and feedback others have given you about your work and about you as a person.  \n> Consider relevant accomplishments or projects you have undertaken. Review your résumé to remind you. Using STAR (Situation, Task, Actions, Results), prepare “mini-stories” that describe your accomplishments and demonstrate your ability to meet the position requirements.  \n> Two critical things that every interviewer wants and needs to know are why you want this particular job and what value you will bring. Think carefully about this. A desire to escape your current position or to geta promotion is not an appropriate response.  \n> Prepare and practice a focused, two-minute overview of your career (experiences, skills, technical qualifications, interests) as it relates to this position. Interviews often begin with a variation of the “Tell me about yourself” question.  \n> Develop and get completely comfortable with interview questions and formats. Practice responses to any “sticky” interview questions that you are worried about being asked. Prepare for “typical”interview questions as well as behavioral questions where you will provide specific examples of things you have done that relate to the position. Consulting firms may use a case interview format; prepare accordingly.  \nPlan ahead:  \n> Determine your interview outfit in advance rather than the night before. Professional attire (e.g. suit) is expected for an interview.  \n> Know the location and plan to arrive 15 minutes before the interview time. Factor intraffic or possibly getting lost.  \n> Pack your bag: Prepare the materials you are taking with you (i.e. copies of your résumé, portfolio, writing samples or publications) .  \n3  \nDURING THE INTERVIEW:  \n> Be confident.
