Face to Face Interview Tips

Many employers view the interview as the most important part of evaluating a candidate. If you are offered an interview, it means that the interview committee saw something they liked in your cover letter or resume. Everything you do and say is being evaluated so look and act your best to give yourself the best chance for getting the job. Follow these tips to increase your interviewing effectiveness:

  • Be early to the appointment. 15 minutes is usually about right to make sure that you find the interview location without trouble, arriving at the office about 5 minutes early.
  • Look and act professionally. For most positions, a suit and tie are appropriate for men and a dress or a blouse and dress slacks are appropriate for women.
  • Bring an extra copy of your resume and cover letter. If appropriate, you can also bring examples of past work such as a portfolio.
  • Be confident. Talk about your strengths and abilities with pride, but do not be cocky or conceited. Make eye contact. Let them know you can do a good job.
  • Be enthusiastic. Show that you are willing to take on the necessary job functions. If you are lacking necessary skills, show that you are willing to learn these skills to help you do the job.
  • Know the position and The Company. Know the qualifications and requirements of the job and be prepared to show why you are the best match for the position. Be familiar with the unique nature of The Company and know what it means to work for them.
  • Practice. Do not be afraid to practice interviewing with friends or family on questions you think you might be asked. Think of examples of when you were at your best as it relates to the position. Practicing can help you be calm and confident during the interview.
  • Be prepared with your own questions. Many interviewers will give the candidate the opportunity to ask questions at the end of the interview. Have a few good questions ready about the position responsibilities, opportunities for training or skill improvement, and other questions related to the job. Do not ask about how much you will get paid.
  • Follow up. Be sure to ask about what will happen next in the hiring process. Should you call to follow up, or will the department contact you about the next step?

Through proper preparation and conduct, you can be at your best during the interview and give yourself the best chance for success.
