Prepare for a Hob Interview.
It is very important to be prepared for an
interview. The following are some of my
personal tips.
1. Dress appropriately for your interview
a suit for both men and women are
appropriate. You want to have a
professional look so you will be taken
seriously.

facts about the company. This will let the
Interviewer know you are serious about
the job.

hours before the actual interview.
4. Turn off your cell phone. If it is
necessary to have it on in case of an
emergency, let the Interviewer know.
5. Give yourself plenty of time to get to
the Interview. It is better to be early than
late. You can sit in your car if you arrive
too early.

7. When the Interviewer asks you a
question, say something even if it does
not relate perfectly, do not just there
keep the conversation going.
