Interview Tips
Majority of the time, the decision on whether or not you are
hired is based on the results of your interview.
Preparing
- Research the company you are
interviewing for – this will also help you prepare any
questions you may have.
- Dress for success –
- For Men: a clean shirt and tie, a dark suit,
polished shoes, face should be clean-shaven, and use
cologne or after-shave sparingly.
- For Women: a business suit, hair and fingernails
should be well groomed, and apply make-up and perfume
moderately.
- Bring at least 1 copy of your
resume, a list of references, a pen and paper to jot
down any information you may need to remember.
- Arrive at least 15 minutes early.

about yourself.
