After our client has screened your resume, your
recruiter will arrange a mutually convenient time
for an interview. The interview is an opportunity
both to learn more about the company and the
position, as well as to convince the interviewer
that you are the ideal person for their need.
Thorough
preparation is one of the most significant factors
in a successful interview. Visit the
company's web site to learn about the company's products,
goals and culture. Your
recruiter will provide specific information about
the job for which you are interviewing.
Listed below are a few highlights to remember as
you prepare for your interview:
- Dress
in a professional, conservative manner.
Stick to a tailored suit in a neutral color.
- Arrive
a few minutes early
- Be
polite, alert, and provide a firm handshake
- Do
not speak negatively of a former employer
- Phrase
your answers to the interviewer's questions in
a manner appropriate for the background of the
interviewer. Keep in mind that your
interviewer may not be technical and therefore
may not have an in-depth understanding of your
skills.
- Be
clear and succinct in answering questions. Do
not be uncomfortable with silences during the
interview, or feel that you need to say
something to fill them.
- Ensure
you convey enthusiasm and confidence in your
answers to the interviewer's questions.
- Review
some of the most frequent interview questions
and ensure you are comfortable answering them
- Bring
samples of your work, if applicable
- Ask
questions regarding the
position, company, work environment, etc. This
indicates interest on your
part.
