Prepare Yourself

Preparation is a big part of the interview process. You will -- or should! -- spend more time getting ready than you will at the interview itself.

This preparation includes both getting to know more about the company and the position, and preparing yourself to explain how your assets make you the best person for the position. And of course there's the time it takes to make yourself presentable!

Start with some general steps to consider as you prepare for the interview.

Knowing the job and the company you are applying to will help you impress your interviewers.

What you wear to the interview can be as important as what you say.

Don't go to the interview empty-handed. But don't take the kitchen sink (or fridge) either.

The interview starts when you walk in the door. Be sure to make a good first impression.
