BEFORE THE INTERVIEW
  • Understand yourself, your strengths and abilities.  By identifying these you will be able to understand what you have to offer an employer.
  • Research the company.   Know the principal products or services provided by this company.  Understand how these products are made and sold and who purchases them.  This information may be obtained from the Internet, company annual reports, brochures, and from literature in the Career Development & Counseling Center.
  • Be prepared with several questions concerning the company which will show your interest in what it offers.
  • Be able to clearly state your abilities and potential.
  • Review the list of most often asked questions by employers. Think of how you truly feel about them.  Practice your responses.
  • Do not chew gum and do not smoke even if invited to do so.

  • Be on time.  Whether you are going to be interviewed on campus or at the company site, promptness is a must.
