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

• 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
