How Can I Prepare for an Interview?

A job interview is your opportunity to show you are the best candidate for the position. Prepare for your next interview by following a few key principles:

• Self-Assessment – In your initial preparation, focus on the skills and experiences that you want to get across during the interview. Review your accomplishments so you can articulate your qualifications effectively.
• Research – Go beyond researching the basics of an organization on their website. Follow them on LinkedIn to find recent initiatives by the organization and their target markets.
• Practice- Answer sample interview questions aloud to improve your answers. Practice makes perfect!
• Be Yourself – An interview is simply a professional conversation. Your skills and qualifications will come across effectively if you are prepared to have a natural conversation.
• Follow-up – Always send a short and well-written thank you email within 24 hours of the interview. Your note should simply thank the employer and mention how you are looking forward to joining the team.
