portfolio which will

Decide what to wear days
before the interview.

very essential.

for the journey.

Late arrival for the job interview is never excusable.
BE YOUR BEST SELF.
• Review your
background/accomplishments that may
fit the needs of the company.
• Don’t rely on your application/resume
doing the selling for you. No matter
how qualified you are for the
position, you will need to sell yourself
to the interviewer.
BE PROACTIVE.
Do research on the company
by reviewing its corporate profile
and by reading some relevant
information through websites/
print materials. Find out the
specifics of the job you are
applying for.
• You only have once chance
to make a good impression.
• Smile!
• Do greet the interviewer by
title and last name if you are
sure of the pronunciation.
• Do wait until you are
offered a chair before
sitting.
• Maintain eye contact.

• What are your short and long range career goals?
• What are your strengths and weaknesses?
• Why should we hire you?
• Thinking like a job hunter

I’m looking for..

handshake, mumble , interrupt, speak too fast or
too slow
• People decide about you in
the first 10 seconds
• You have to make a good
first impression
• Always ask insightful
questions
• They’ll probably ask
questions designed to trip
you up
• Try to focus on the message
you are conveying – not
how well you are doing
• Thank the interviewer for the time spent with
you
• Make some notes regarding some things
you’ve learned from the company
• Do try and get business cards from the
person you interviewed with
• Make a follow up call to know your status
• Take some time to reflect:
– How well did I do?
– What went well?
– What steps can I take next time to
improve?
Whether you think you can or think you can't
-you are right.
~Henry Ford
