2.    Dress for success!  You want to leave a lasting impression so make sure your clothes are neat, clean and professional.

3.    Allow enough time to visit with employers. Spend at least 10-15 minutes with an employer and visit potential employers by yourself, not with a group of friends.

4.    Be outgoing and friendly when approaching interviewers. Remember to smile, shake hands firmly, and make eye contact.

8.    Be prepared to answer basic questions about your skills, qualifications, education and career goals.

9.    Don’t be scared to ask for clarification if you don’t understand the question.

10.    An interview should not be one-sided.  Ask your own questions.

11.    Bring a pad of paper and a pen with you to write down brief notes after each interview. Make sure to write down any points that you need to follow-up on. 

12.    Ask for a business card or write down the interviewer’s name and contact information so that you can send them an email thanking them for the interview.  Make sure you get the correct spelling of their name.

13.    Bring several copies of your up-to-date resume with you and make sure to leave a copy with each interviewer. Pay close attention to ensure all spelling and grammar is correct.

14.    Be cautious of your online presence and what information and images you share on social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter, potential employers may see these profiles.

15.    Let the interviewer know you are interested in the position before leaving.

Following these tips will help in finding the right job!
