To do well at the interview you will need to convince the interviewer you are technically qualified to do the job. You will also need to show that you are sufficiently motivated to get the job done well and that you will fit in with the company's organizational structure and the team in which you will work.

You should dress smartly for the interview and should leave home earlier than you need to on the day of the interview - you may be delayed by traffic or for other reasons. Be courteous to all employees of the company. At the interview itself you must be positive about yourself and your abilities - but do not waffle.

Here are some tips:

1. Assemble all necessary papers

  1. Resume or personal data sheet - Know your resume well enough that you can discuss every line if necessary
  2. Licenses, Social Security card and/or military records
  3.  Samples of work, if relevant
  4. List of questions you want to ask the interviewer about the job

Many employers will use your resume(CV) as a source of questions during the interview. Review your resume prior to the interview and be able to develop answers to questions that relate to your employment and educational experience listed on your resume. Be prepared to discuss gaps in employment. If called upon, you must be able to demonstrate the skills you stated on your resume. Focus your answers on the skills and experience that will be most useful to the position you are interviewing for.

2. Learn all you can about the prospective employer

  1. What are the products and services?
  2. What is its reputation?
  3. What types of jobs are available?
  4. What are the hiring policies and practices?
