Three Stages to the Job Interview
Now that you have done all the preparation, you're ready for the actual interview. And if you have done your homework, you'll find that the interview process won't be quite as bad as you thought it would be.
One thing that can help you make sure all goes well is to recognize that the interview process will naturally break down into three stages. Knowing what stage of the interview you are in will help you respond to the interviewer in the proper manner.
The interview begins with the introduction. The first minute or two will often set the tone for the entire interview. It's important to get off on the right foot.
Most of the interview will involve the exchange of information. Just relax and believe that all your preparation will help you answer any question.
All interviews will end with a brief closing phase. No matter how you thought the interview went, make sure you end on a positive note.
