Reaching the interview stage is a definite milestone in the job search process. You - or your resume - managed to convince the employer that you are a worthy candidate and that meeting you would be worthwhile. The interview gives you yet another opportunity to demonstrate your worthiness. The Interviewing Checklist provides an overview of what to keep in mind during this stage. Since interviews are usually face to face (though telephone interviews are quite common as well), the communication is enriched with all sorts of non-linguistic cues and clues about each other’s interest and reactions. Good preparation and attention to your deportment can go a long way in improving your chances of moving forward in the hiring process. Being prepared not only makes you more confident and competent in an interview, it also signals your interest and knowledge to the interviewer. Practicing your answers to typical interview questions and understanding the typical interview process will help keep you focused. Looking and acting the part means being polished and professional at all times - be proud of who you are and how you carry yourself. Practice. Practice. Practice and you will win the job interview.
