Job Interview Success Tips

Be prepared for your job interview. Practice answering questions you think the employer will ask. Do some research about the company you are applying for. The more information you bring into the interview the better off you are which will help alleviate the stress that is accustomed during this process. Be prepared to answer questions about yourself and your past experience. 


Being on time for a job interview is extremely important. If you are late this first thing the employer will think is what kind of work habits you have. Try to come early for your job interview at least 15-20 minutes. This shows the employer that you are dedicated and have good work habits. The last thing an employer wants to do is hire a problem employee.

How you are dressed is extremely important. This doesn't necessary mean you have to wear a tie but dress pants with a nice dress-shirt is something that I would recommend. Do not wear your jeans and casual shirts to a job interview. You will be judged on how you present yourself not only by what you wear but how you act as well. Try to remain calm and focused and looking at the employer in the eyes is recommended but do not stare. Never lie during your interview if you don't know the answer then be honest.

During an interview you usually are the one answering questions but do not hesitate to ask questions as well. By asking relevant questions about the job position this indicates to the employer that you are inquisitive about this position which helps strengthen your chances. Do not ask lots of questions but ask relevant questions during the process 

This is extremely important to have because many people walk in during an interview thinking they will not get the job. Try to be yourself and answer all questions promptly in a positive fashion. Remember to smile as well. A positive employee is generally a good employee.  

If you are interested in the position then let them know. Do not over stay your welcome as this will impact negatively on your interview. Thank them for your time and shake their hand. Be prepared to offer references to the employer. Remain positive during the whole process.
