Job Interview Advice

When it comes to job interviews, it can be utterly nerve wrecking. It does not matter if you are there in person or using internet phone services, you need to have "studied" for this test well in advance. Since many people worry about saying the wrong thing in an interview, you should remember not to say anything obviously stupid like badmouthing your previous employer and you should use your experience and education to make the argument as to why you would be the perfect fit for the job. Making a good first impression might start earlier than you think such as when you are waiting with the receptionist or even in the elevator. Also, make sure to smile because it can really go a long way. The way to sell yourself is to read up on the company's mission statement and practice saying how you could add to that mission statement. You should also practice saying your accomplishments out loud. Prepare for it as if your life depends on it, because in some ways it does. When you got ready for a final in school, you started several weeks ahead of time. Read up on the industry in general and not just the company where your interview is. Be over prepared, although I do not think there is such a thing.
