Interview Preparation

• Dress in professional business attire for formal interviews.
• Bring extra copies of your resume.
• Be sure to research the company prior to the interview. The more you know about the company, the better you'll be able to respond to questions resulting in a more favorable impression on your prospective employer.
• Bring a notebook to take notes and have a minimum of three questions prepared focusing on the company's goals, past challenges and successes, etc.
• During the initial interview, steer clear from asking about salary, benefits, etc.
• Organize your portfolio as it is a reflection of your work ethic. Clients may think a poorly organized portfolio means an unorganized individual.
• Be positive. Focus on the positive, not negative, experiences from your previous employment. This will speak highly of your professionalism to new employers.
• Prepare your answers to common questions regarding your strengths and weaknesses, goals and what you can bring to the company.
• Most importantly, demonstrate enthusiasm and excitement to the interviewer concerning the potential opportunity.
