The key to a good interview is doing enough preparation work so that, when you walk in the door, you’re comfortable and ready to impress.  \nOverview of the Interview Process  \nDon’t try to “wing it” by going into an interview situation with no prior preparation. It is always a good idea to practice with a mock interview beforehand. Find a partner who will play the interviewer and ask you a series of tough questions. Why should you rehearse? For one thing, practice makes perfect in terms of your skill level. Also, you will be more comfortable in an actual interview if you are going over familiar territory.  \nRemember that marketing yourself is selling a product and you are that product. The best way to make a successful sale is to match features and benefits to the needs of the client. This requires that you do your homework and find out what your potential employer is looking for and match that to your personal inventory.  \nFor instance, do they want someone with solid work experience, personal confidence, supervisory ability and a high energy level? Review your personal inventory including your strongest skills, greatest areas of knowledge, key accomplishments, personal strengths, qualifications, etc. to find as many matches as you can and be sure to talk about them during the interview.  \nInterview Rules  \n\n| • Be on time |\n| --- |\n| • Be honest\u003Cbr>• Be enthusiastic\u003Cbr>• Make lots of eye contact\u003Cbr>• Remain positive |\n\nResearching the Organization  \nResearch is an important part of your preparation. Why do research at all? When you research an industry, occupation, or employer, you gain the information you need to make a good decision about the direction of your job search. You get to decide whether to apply for a job at a specific employer based on facts, not feelings. You’re in control. The information you gain while conducting this research will also impress the prospective employer during the interview. It says you are serious about your job search. Research can be done on occupations, industries, specific organizations, availability of jobs in your area and on other topics.  \nResearch doesn’t have to be time-consuming. Newspaper ads, the Internet, and employer brochures can be good resources for discovering what experience, training and knowledge are required by a variety of employers. You can measure your qualifications against those required by the employer.  \nSources of Published Information:  \n\n| • Library |\n| --- |\n| • Internet\u003Cbr>• Telephone Yellow Pages\u003Cbr>• Professional/trade associations and unions\u003Cbr>• Business and Manufacturer Guide\u003Cbr>• Dunn & Bradstreet Directory\u003Cbr>• Standard and Poor’s\u003Cbr>• Corporate Report Fact Book\u003Cbr>• Corporate Yellow Book\u003Cbr>• Business Directory\u003Cbr>• Employer database such as InfoTrac at local libraries\u003Cbr>• News articles about employers\u003Cbr>• Business Periodicals Index |\n\nBenefits of Research:  \nResearching  \nBefore you employer  \nSample  \n\n| • Increased job search confidence |\n| --- |\n| • Increased control over the job search\u003Cbr>• Increased decision-making ability\u003Cbr>• Increased potential for job search success |\n| an Employer\u003Cbr>you apply for a job at a particular employer, you should learn as much about that employer as can.
