Prepare for the Job Search ~ Interviewing ~ Helpful Hints

HELPFUL HINTS

Arrive Early.  Ten to fifteen minutes can provide you with a cushion should some unforeseen problem occur.

Bring Along Extra Copies of Your Resume.  If the interviewer has misplaced your information this will assist them and add to your image as a prepared person.

Maintain Eye Contact.  Unwillingness to look someone in the eye is often taken as evasiveness.

Ask for Clarification.  If you’re confused by a question, ask the interviewer to restate it.  This shows poise on your part and allows you to answer questions appropriately.

Be Yourself.  Interviewers respond well to those candidates they feel are being sincere.
