Successful Interviewing

Before the Interview

Practice answering typical questions with a friend or other "mock interviewer".
Review frequently asked questions.
Research the company and identify reasons you would want to work there.
Spend some time thinking about questions you would like to ask.
Prepare a conventional business suit to wear to interviews.
Be prepared for surprise questions/awkward questions and how you would prefer to deal with them.
Consider how to deal with nervous habits; relaxation techniques will help.
Have an opening remark in mind.
Take a pad and pen along with you for any notes you wish to make during or after the interview.
Know time and location of interview and arrive 15 minutes early.
Convert opinion into fact by citing specific examples of your accomplishments as well as illustration of your skill/abilities/traits.
