- Arrive poised and confident.
- Be courteous to everyone you meet. Remember, it's not just the interviewer who is evaluating you - anyone you encounter from the moment you enter the building could have a say in hiring you.
- Greet your interviewer with a firm handshake and an enthusiastic smile.
- Be prepared to answer commonly asked questions.
- Ask questions based on your research and preparation.
- Know what questions not to ask. For example, don't inquire about salary, bonuses, vacation time, benefits or your office space. These questions are appropriate only after there is serious interest in hiring you. If you're asked what salary you want, give a range based on your research, but indicate that you're more interested in the opportunity for career growth and development.
- Be sincere, truthful and enthusiastic about the prospective position.
