Today I wrapped up my second interview of the week and have one more tomorrow. I honestly feel like I should be on the Apprentice or write a book. The preparation that goes into each interview is so intensive and companies don't only want to know about you --they also want to know what you know about them! These have all been second round interviews, and I won't be surprised if there is a third round! I'll provide a brief bulleted list of interview tips:
*Dress for Success:
If you feel confident in your snazzy suit, you'll exude confidence throughout your interview!
* The Early Bird Gets the Worm:
Allow enough time before your interview to familiarize yourself with the company's location. Plan to arrive at the interview 10 minutes early. This shows that you're time conscious and it's not so early that you appear anxious.
*Don't Deliberately Burn Yourself Out:
I made the mistake of having two interviews in one day and was completely drained when all was said and done. Avoid this at all costs for best results :-)
* Practice, Practice, Practice:
Rehearse in the mirror, with your friends and your mentors. You'll feel more comfortable in the real interview!
*Remember your Manners:
Always send a thank you card within 24 hours of your interview. This small gesture will make you stand out against other candidates. It is good to send an email thank you as well.
