Interview Check List

  • Dress for success
  • Arrive a few minutes early
  • Be ready with some small talk - about the office paintings, something of interest in the interviewer's office, the traffic, etc.
  • Show a sense of humour as long as it comes naturally.
  • Let the interviewer know that you have done your homework on the company.
  • Act as an intelligent equal and confidently discuss the job.
  • Keep your eye contact, looking away briefly now and then as you ponder a question.
  • Smile when appropriate.
  • Be positive about yourself, your strengths, you skills, your job experience.
  • Never be overly critical about your past employer and fellow workers.
  • Try to side step the question of money, benefits, holidays, etc, until after a job offer has been made.
  • Under normal circumstances never accept a job offer during the interview, even if it seems to be the "perfect" job.   Ask for some time to think it over.
  • Call your references and let them know they may be contacted.
  • After the interview write a thank you letter. Emphasize your interest in the job and thank the interviewer for his consideration
