Understanding key information about the company you’re interviewing at helps you go into your interview with confidence. Searching for information about the company through their website, social media posts and recent press releases provides a better understanding of the company’s goals and how you make you a great fit.
Emphasize your "selling points" and reason for wanting the job
2/12
Have three to five key selling points in mind for your interview, so you stand out as the best candidate for the position. Tell the interviewer why you want that job – what interests you about it, the rewards you find valuable, and the abilities it requires that you possess.
Come with examples of your work
3/12
You will likely be asked about specific work achievements in relation to the position. After reviewing the job description, think of work you’ve done well in past jobs, clubs or volunteer positions that highlights your experience and success doing the work they require.
Be prepared to answer common interview questions
4/12
Think about the questions you're most likely to encounter, given your age and status (about to graduate, looking for a summer internship). Prepare your answers so you don’t fumble during the actual interview.
Prepare questions for the interviewer
5/12
Come to the interview with some questions for the interviewer that demonstrates your knowledge of the company and your intent. You should have one or two prepared no matter what.
Practice makes perfect
6/12
Look up common job interview questions and practice your answers. They should emphasize the skills that are most important to the employer and relevant to the position. Review the job description, list down the requirements, and tie them to your experience.
Make an impression within the first 5 minutes
7/12
Come with energy, enthusiasm, passion and grit, expressing your appreciation for the interviewer's time. Start off with a positive comment about the company.
Build a connection with your interviewer
8/12
Build rapport and make a personal connection with your interviewer increases your chances of getting hired. Interviewers tend to hire candidates they like and who seem to be a good fit for the company's culture.
Be on time (aka, early)
9/12
Be “on time” for your interview - which means 5 to 10 minutes early. Give yourself extra time to visit the restroom, fix your outfit, and calm your nerves.
Don't worry about sounding "canned"
10/12
Don't worry about sounding "canned" during your interview. If you're well prepared, you'll sound smooth and articulate. On the other hand, if you're not so well prepared, the anxiety of the situation will eliminate any "canned" quality.
Tie your answers back to your skills and accomplishments
11/12
With any question you answer, it is important that you tie your background to the job by providing examples of solutions and results you’ve achieved. Use every opportunity to address requirements listed in the job description.
Follow-up after the interview
12/12
Always follow up with a thank-you note reiterating your interest in the position within 24 hours of your interview. You can also include any details you may have forgotten to mention during your interview. If you interview with multiple people from the same company, send each one a personal note.
