> Research the company and make sure you know what the position entails if
you

> and/or Internet resources to look up specific job positions and their
> duties, then tailor these elements into your interview. This time would be
> ideal to reflect on your career, so ask yourself if this type of job goes
> beyond general interest. Be sure you have a genuine passion for the work
and
> if you don't, then realistically envision a job that would always appeal
to
> you. If you need to change, use career resources and network with
companies
> to make your dream job a reality.
>
> Check these resources for other important elements of the job such as
> wage/salary. Consider part-time/full-time work, when you can start, the
> hours of the work schedule, and if you're willing to work weekends so
you're
> prepared to answer these questions at the interview. Feel free to inquire
> about benefits at an appropriate time. Assert yourself and have
confidence,
> just not too much.
>
> Remember to keep eye contact and be aware of your body language during the
> interview. Don't forget handshakes at the beginning and end of the
interview
> and avoid nervous, distracting habits. Use correct grammar and avoid slang
> terms to demonstrate your professionalism and desire for the job. Don't
lead
> the interview, just sit back, relax, and be polite.
>
> Dress formal and conservatively (no red clothing), but comfortable so you
> can function at your highest possible level. Submit a complete resume no
> longer than two pages and stay enthusiastic and positive (especially if
you
> have to fake it, hopefully you don't)
>
> No one can have the perfect interview so be realistic and improve on your
> faults. Practice interviewing with a friend. If you're not hired, call the
> employer and ask them why so you can improve your career standing for the
> next interview.
