Just relax and be yourself.

Maintain eye contact. Make sure you complement her, but nothing too sexual. When you leave don't go all in with tonsil hockey, just a peck on the cheek will do.

lol, yeah. I interviewed a guy who'd obviously Googled me and started asking me all kinds of questions about my background, especially in music. It was strange and even though that data is all public, it did come off as a little creepy.

Call a friend that does interviews and ask them to do one over the phone with you before your actual interview


Remember to bring a copy of your resume, don't bring a copy of your cover letter. also references should only be "available upon request" unless you have references that are well known in your particilar industry. even then, wait intill they ask.


Also dress in a suit or if your a girl then whatever is equivelent to a suit...always better to be overdressed then under dress


Relax durning the interview. let them interview you but also, you be the interview. you want to find out as much as you can about the job you are applying for. this helps with your follow up email/letter but also if you are called in for a second interview, you can do some more research before it.


always talk about how good your current and past jobs are. never make a negative impression. last think i want to here from someone is the job wasnt good because blah blah blah


have good reasons of why you left your past job or are seeking new jobs. dont give bs reasons, they will see right past you


If the interview is a good one, he may seperate his/her potential canadiates with questions such as, "Tell me a joke" or for example in my industry, "If you could be any turfgrass, what would you be"


always follow up with an email.


here is an example of my follow up email regarding a postition i applied for (minus the grammar mistakes, i was typing fast)


I am happy we had the time to sit down and not only talk about the position, but also to talk in detail about the condition of the course, logistics, and upcoming plans. I agree there are ways we can reduce our labor cost while becoming more efficient. I would like to hear your thoughts on this and can share mine.


I am going to continue thinking about the position but can say right now I am looking forward to the possibility of working at ________. I would like to talk in more detail about the position. Please feel free to contact me with any additional questions. My schedule is flexible and I will be able to meet with you again at your convenience.


the above is tailored towards my interview i had. make the follow up email short and sweet, include stuff you talked about

good recommendation. an example would be, what type of hobbies or activies do you do? then you can explain yours when they ask....dont mention you spend time posting on acf and playing video games

Go into the interview with a gauntlet, on one hand, that you've lit on fire.

Do the whole interview with it on. Job guaranteed.

send your resume and your cover letter to your fellow collegues, people in your industry that you talk to, friends that are managers and see these materials all the time... alot of states have resources available for the unemployment people. they may offer free sessions for resume building, interviewing pratice, ect
