Do Your Homework!   

Learn as much as possible about the position, the company, and the interviewers themselves. 

The more detailed information you have about the company and the position, the better prepared

and more interested you appear. If possible, visit the company's website or go to the library and

research the company.

Don't Be Rushed... 

Arrive 15 minutes early, try to relax and be yourself.  Be thorough and truthful in completing

the application, including filling in all of the blanks. Do not get impatient or irritable if kept

waiting past the appointment time. Even if the company's dress code is "casual", you should

always dress your "business best" for the interview.  Remember to extend a firm handshake

and smile! You should show interest and enthusiasm initially, and throughout the interviewing

process. Sometimes a candidate takes the "convince me" attitude toward the company and

the interest and enthusiasm which the interviewer is looking for comes too late!  

Ask Questions!  

No matter how thorough the employer is during the interview, you must ask questions; this

demonstrates your level of interest and your thinking ability. Do not discuss your salary

requirements, unless pressured to do so. We will negotiate on your behalf and in your

best interest. Remember, there is nothing to negotiate unless you get an offer of employment! 

Let Them Know You Want The Job

Ask them to consider you for this position! Also, good communication with us is vital! Be

sure and call our office after the interview, before we speak with the client.   Not only do

we appreciate the professional courtesy, but we may be able to address any questions or

concerns you may have.

Finally, it is always a good idea to send a "Thank You" note to the interviewer.
