Are you really prepared to interview for your next job?
I can't even begin to explain how many people think they are prepared and completely blow an interview. You should hear some of the stories... The adage that you only get one chance to make a first impression holds very true.
Spend 5 minutes to review the video directly above. It's hard enough to get the interview. Don't blow it once you get it because of being unprepared.
- Learn about the company you are interviewing with.
- Call your recruiter - They can give tips on personalities
- Proper Dress Attire
- Extra copies of your resume
- Show up 10 minutes early, not on time or late.
- Salary Negotiation Tips
- Be awake, energetic and excited
- Call your recruiter as soon as you leave the interview
Let me share an example of a wrong first impression. We had a client wear green velvet shoes to an interview. The feedback we got from the client (the company the candidate interviewed with), was they couldn't forget the shoes. I certainly don't think the job candidate wanted to be remembered for that, but because this person didn't spend a few minutes following easy job interview guidelines, this is what they were remembered by.
