Use these interview tips for job hunting success!

It’s a tough job market out there today. And getting
the job you want requires more than just a killer
resume. In other words, you can’t just sell yourself on
paper. You also have to be able to do it in
person--in a face-to-face job interview.

Here are a few interview tips to help you make a great
impression on the person who interviews you.

1. Market your skills and related experience in the field
that you are applying for. Be sure to do it in a way
that is positive, but not cocky or aggressive.

2. Research the company before your interview. It’s a
great way to know where you would fit into the
organization. It also lets the employer know that you
really want to be a part of the company.

3. Prepare answers to common interview questions ahead of
time, and practice saying them, so you aren’t stumped
during the interview.

4. Dress for success, in the manner you would dress for
the position you’re seeking.

5. Bring a list of your own questions with you in a folder
with the company’s name on it, so that you don’t forget
them. You should keep your extra resumes in there too.

6. Be a good listener and focus. Some job seekers talk too
much during interviews.

7. Be prepared to describe your weaknesses as strengths.
For example, saying that you are overenthusiastic about
performing at your best.

8. Make eye contact with your interviewer.

9. Don’t volunteer your personal opinions to your
interviewer about any subjects unless you are asked.

10. Try to establish a good rapport with your interviewer.
Be casual but professional, and most importantly BE
YOURSELF! Take the time to implement these interview
tips before your next job hunt. It'll give you a leg up
on your competition!
