Interview early.

Interview early. Experts say to try and schedule your interview so you’re one of the first candidates your potential employer sees. This will set you as the standard for interviewees and make every other person they talk to need to live up to your accomplishments. If you’re offered a range of days and times to…

See things from their perspective.

Let’s be honest, the key to landing your dream job isn’t about you, it’s about how you fit and can help the hiring company. The people interviewing you are likely tasked with finding a person that will help the business deliver on key objectives. Put yourself in their position before coming in for your interview.…

Don’t start suggesting changes.

Bringing in new employees is a great way for companies to improve their process and find innovative new ideas. But the interview is not the place to start suggesting that they change their ways of thinking. Unless you are specifically asked how to improve a program or suggest a new way to complete a process,…

Practice your pitch.

You’ll always be asked to tell the interviewer about yourself. It’s the one question that you can almost guarantee will come up. You should have your explanation prepared, but not over-practiced. You want to sound confident and experienced without sounding like you’re reading a prepared statement. Your overview should focus on recent experience, sprinkle in…

Strike a power pose.

A quick and easy way to boost your confidence before a big interview is to do “power poses” in a mirror. By standing up straight with your shoulders back, or practicing your form for those initial handshakes, you’ll not only be able to work on your form for critical moments, but you’ll also start seeing…

Being a perfectionist is overplayed.

One of the easiest answers to the “what’s your biggest weakness” question is saying that you’re a perfectionist. It’s a simple way to avoid any pitfalls while highlighting another positive about your personality. The only problem is that this answer has become cliché. Hiring managers report hearing the word perfectionist in far too many interviews…

Know the Conversation If the company where you’re interviewing is consumer facing

Take advantage of online tools.

Take advantage of online tools. Information has never been more readily available than it is today. If you’re going for a position that asks for proficiency in Microsoft Office or other programs, you can usually find free tutorials or even certification classes online. By completing training before your interview, you’ll show that you’re motivated, interested…

Write Down Names If you’re meeting with multiple people during an interview session

February Interview Tips

Write Down Names If you’re meeting with multiple people during an interview session, make sure to write their names down so you can refer to them properly throughout the meeting. It may seem like an obvious note, but throughout the course of a long day of talking, it’s easy to forget names or confuse two people in the room. If you’re doing a panel session, write their names on the page in a way that corresponds with where they’re sitting. So if a person is to your left, write their name on the left side of the page. Taking note of details will help you stay focused on your accomplishments during your interview instead of trying to avoid calling someone the wrong name.

Know the Conversation If the company where you’re interviewing is consumer facing

January Interview Tips

Know the Conversation If the company where you’re interviewing is consumer facing, look at the comments on their social media accounts to get a feel for the conversation happening around their business. Glassdoor is a site where employees can review their employer, so that is also a good place to see what a company’s culture is like. Keep in mind that people will likely only comment if they’ve had an extremely positive or negative experience, so take the feedback with a grain of salt. However, the comments can help you get a feel for if the company needs to improve in customer service, quality, or culture, and you can bring ideas for progress to your interview.

Bring Results In addition to bringing examples of projects and situations that are relevant to the opening

December Interview Tips

Bring Results In addition to bringing examples of projects and situations that are relevant to the opening, also bring as many tangible results as you can. It’s easy to say that you turned a difficult situation into a success, but how did that success translate to sales goals, employee satisfaction scores, or increased profits? It’s one thing to say you made a client happy, it’s another to say that your work lead to a 98% retention rate. Showing tangible results backs up your examples and demonstrates that you look to translate your work into bottom line performance for your company.
