Even getting an interview is difficult now that the economy is in such a mess so when you do get one make sure you don't waste it. Prepare for it and do some homework. It will make a huge difference and put you far ahead of others trying to get that special job.
1: One of the most important things to remember at an interview is to listen carefully to the interviewer. Once you answer be sure to again listen to any comments they make.
2: Rehearse your answers to the standard interview questions, some of which your are sure to be asked, such as:
Tell us a little about yourself.
What are your strengths and weaknesses?
Why would you like to work for this company?
Why do you want to (or did you) leave your present employer?
What do you know about our company?
What are your current responsibilities?
What are your ambitions?
Would you like to ask us anything?
3: Answer the questions carefully and try to avoid yes or no responses. Make sure you keep to the subject of the question.
4: Make sure you do have some reasonable questions to ask the interviewer but keep to the actual job requirements. Don't start to talk about benefits to you like health insurance, flexible working hours or vacation time.
5: Don't raise the subject of salary and if asked, try to give a range you consider reasonable. The actual salary can be discussed once you are made an offer.
6: Be truthful. Companies do check information and qualifications so don't tell lies. It's a sure way to fail that interview.
5: Try and understand what the company is looking for and what kind of person they want for the job. If there was an advertisement, look for the important requirements and make sure you know why you can fulfill them. If you don't match a particular skill, be prepared to ask for training.
6: Always try to give real examples from your previous work when answering a question. This is probably the single most effective way to guarantee interview success.
