INTERVIEW PROCESS
Candidates who know what
to expect in the interview process and who devote
adequate time and effort to their interview preparation are more
confident and therefore more successful. Candidates who pay attention to
the details of their presentation and who are aware of the psychological
and subjective factors of the interview process typically get more job
offers.
"It is
not the person who is most qualified that gets the job. The person who
gets the job is the one who interviews best."
-EDWARD SULLIVAN

INTERVIEW SKILLS
A job
interview is not an inquisition or a confrontation. It is not an
interrogation or a police line-up. A job interview is a presentation, a
performance, an audition. It is a conversation, a discussion, an
exchange of information. To be successful with a job interview means
putting your "best self" forward. Preparing for an interview involves
sharpening your communication skills, maintaining a positive attitude,
emphasizing your best attributes, and creating a good first impression.
"I've met individuals who have saved lives, built nations, or unlocked
the mysteries of the universe... and the most easily observable thread
which connected these persons was their ability to present well in a job
interview."
-WINSTON CHURCHILL

INTERVIEW PREP
"The
core message about interviewing is that you have to do a good job of
selling yourself. Through your appearance, demeanor, and the way you
answer questions, you have to convince the interviewer that you possess
the skills and personal attributes necessary to be successful in the
job."
-MAX
MESSMER
"You
may already have an idea of what an interview is like. Some people break
out in a cold sweat thinking about it. The truth is, interviews are not
that scary. An interview is not intended to be a one-sided
interrogation, where the interviewer is waiting for you to make a
mistake... An interview is nothing more than a meeting between two
people who are exploring a possible working relationship. Afterall,
sitting across the desk from you is not a company, it's a person."
