Ten things you may do to increase your chances of doing well at an interview.
Arrive 15 minutes early to the interview.
Fill out all applications neatly and completely. Write “negotiable” in the salary section.
When meeting the interviewer, mirror their demeanor.
Do not answer questions with a simple “yes” or “no.” Sell yourself by using examples and paint a clear picture of where, when, how, what, and why you did it.
Stress your achievements, records and accomplishments.
Answer all questions to the point; do not ramble on. Role-play some responses before the interview, “Practice makes perfect!”
Do not make derogatory remarks about previous or present employers.
Avoid asking questions in regard to salary, commission, bonuses or vacation.
Tell your possible employer what you are going to do for them, NOT what they can do for you.
