A Few Pointers

Be positive!

Listen and be sure to answer every question completely

Be specific with your answers – Give examples

Avoid using the following statements:

“To be honest with you.” / “Just between you and me.” / “Well, I’ll be completely honest with you.”

Thank interviewer for time & get business card

Send thank you ASAP!!!!!

Some people have thank you card at interview, write in car, and put in closest mailbox on the way home


	Be positive: Now is not the time to talk negatively about former employers

	Listen and answer every question: If you don’t understand the question ask for clarification

	Be specific with your answers and have examples that relate to the question that is asked

	Statements:
	This type of statement infers that you are typically not very honest. If you were always honest and up front (which you should be), you wouldn’t need this kind of qualifier.

	Have questions ready for the interviewer. Shows interest

	HAVE CONVERSATION WITH FRIEND
