1. Practice makes perfect. Make a list of potential questions you believe you will be asked at the interview. Review books at the library and bookstores for information on tips for successful interview techniques.
2. Use online search engines to find more information. Popular interview questions include: What skills do you have to offer our company? What have you achieved in your career that has made a difference? What is an experience that you found rewarding?
3. Ask someone to do a mock interview with you. Practice answering questions that you think may be asked. This will ease apprehension and boost your self-confidence. It will also give you instant feedback and allow you to think about how you will answer.
4. Do some digging. Become knowledge about the company where you are seeking employment. Conduct an informational interview to gain background information on the company before you apply for a job. Research their mission so thay you can ask intelligent questions. Researching a potential employer can also help you to determine whether you and the company will be a good fit.
5. Review your assets. Make fresh in your mind the reasons why this potential employer shoud hire you for the job. Don't be afraid to talk about prior job successes and to stress how you made a difference.
