Three steps to job interview success

Interview2_small

If you have an interview coming soon, it’s normal to be nervous.  Confidence is key, so here are three steps to help ease your jitters:

1. Step one – Get prepared

Going into an interview cold is a big no-no.  Take the time to learn everything you can about the company.  Visit the company’s Web site, talk to current and former employees and read any articles you can on the business.  Then, practice your answers to common interview questions so you can portray yourself in the best possible light. 

2.  Step two – Bring your A-game

Show up to the interview impeccably dressed in clean, pressed business-appropriate attire.  When you meet your interviewer, smile and offer a firm handshake.  Answer all questions calmly and confidently. 

3.  Step three – Follow up

Before you leave the interview, ask about the next steps in the hiring process.  As soon as you get home, write your interviewer a quick note thanking him or her for the opportunity to interview and reiterating your interest in the position.
