How to prepare for a job interviewA proven list by Princeton University that I used for my applications. It just works.
1. Research the organizationCheck their latest news, learn about the industry trends the company operates in, check the customer and former employees reviews
2. Compare your skills and qualifications to the job descriptionIdentify the overlapping points that are more pronounced
3. Prepare your responsesThink through the potential questions in advance
4. Plan what to wearDress to impress; go either neutral or formal, but display class
5. Plan what to bringBring a copy of your resume; a notepad and pen; a list of references; a portfolio and list of your participants
6. Pay attention to non-verbal communicationPosture, gestures, voice tone, eye contact, just to name a few
7. Follow upMany interviews end with “Do you have any questions?”This is your time to shine.
