For men slacks, a button up shirt, a coat, a tie, and dress shoes.  \nPractice Interview: Not an actual interview for an actual job. Sometimes referred to as a “mock interview.”  \nThe Questions  \nWe’ll start here since this is one of the one of the scariest parts of the interview. Interview questions are primarily designed to help the employer understand the value that you will add to their organization, assess your knowledge, experience and trainability, and determine if you would be a personality fit for their team.  \nPrepare:  \n1. For every bulleted skill and competency listed on your résumé, create a 30-second story about that skill. What is a story that demonstrates your competency with this skill? What impact have you made with that skill or what results have you achieve?  \n2. Download and review this document-Practice Interview Guidelines. This valuable tool helps you understand what questions to expect during an interview and how to handle them. It provides many sample interview questions that you may face. For each question, it:  \na. Explains what an employer is often assessing when they ask the question.  \nb. Provides suggestions on things to avoid and things to do or say when asked the question.  \nPractice: It is recommended that you grab a piece of paper or open a separate document and write your practice answers and notes.  \n• The Practice Interview Guidelines document offers a ‘Powerful Answers Chart’ at the bottom of the document where you can capture your thoughts and notes.  \n• Remember your Me in 30 Seconds statement and power statements.  \n• Review your answers and practice answering them. This will help you feel and sound more confident in your answers.  \nWhat to Wear  \nPeople like or dislike you often in the first ten seconds of meeting you. Most of these cues are based on things you cannot control. However, your attire is something that you do have control over. You want to dress as if you work for the company and have the job. Dress professionally and appropriately for that industry and region. This article is helpful: How to Ace an Interview  \nQuick Tips:  \n• “When in Rome, do as the Romans do.” Research the area-specific strategies for your industry and region. Observe the company culture when selecting an interview outfit. The objective is to look like you already fit in nicely with the company and its culture.  \n• Generally, clothes should be conservative in color and fit. Nothing too tight, too flashy, or two bright. (Note: if you are interviewing for a job in design or entertainment this rule would not fit)  \n• If in doubt, dress in business casual or business professional, depending on the type job and organization you are applying for.  \nWhat to Bring with You  \nArriving prepared is part of the interview process. Bring a folder or briefcase with five to ten copies of your resume, your business card, a note pad, and pen (blue or black ink) .  \nQuick Tips:  \n• Avoid carrying flashy items or items with logos.  \n• Offer a copy of your resume at the beginning of each interview.  \n• Also, be ready with multiple copies of a few relevant artifacts from your portfolio that demonstrate your skills and the value you might add to their organization.  \nTypes of Interviews  \nThere are multiple types of interviews and you may face several or even all of them during your interview process.
