1. Know the exact place and time of the interview, the interviewer’s full name, the correct pronunciation and his or her title. Arrive slightly ahead of time, introduce yourself to the receptionist and let people know that you’re there.
2. Do basic research about the company that you’ve applied to. Find out what their goals and objectives are, what type of work they do and how you can help them.
3. An interview is a “two-way street.” Don’t be afraid to ask questions during the interview. Your questions allow the hiring manager to evaluate your professional and personal needs. Lastly, the more questions you ask the better you’ll be able to understand what the position requires.
4. Put your best foot forward. Dress appropriately — dress for the level of job — and greet your interviewer with a firm handshake and an enthusiastic smile.
