Interview Attire Tips

     * Before you even think about going on an interview,
    make sure you have appropriate interview attire and
                    everything fits correctly.
    * Get your clothes ready the night before, so you don't
  have to spend time getting them ready on the day of the
                           interview.
      * If your clothes are dry clean only, take them to the
cleaners after an interview, so they are ready for next time.
                       * Polish your shoes.
     * Bring a breath mint and use it before you enter the
                            building.
1. Do some research on the business before the interview.
                           2. Practice interviewing.
               3. Go alone. Do not take children or friends.
                 4. Greet the employer with a handshake.
                        5. Make frequent eye contact.
                     6. Smile, be polite, and try to relax.
   7. Listen carefully to the questions asked. Ask the interviewer to
                  restate a question if you are confused.
                8. Answer questions as directly as possible.
                9. Be upbeat and make positive statements.
   10. If you've worked before, talk about what you learned from it.
 11. Use examples of how your skills and abilities would fit the job.
 12. Bring your "Fact Sheet" with telephone numbers and addresses
of your references and former employers, just in case you are asked
                        to complete an application.
At the end of the interview:

        * Thank the interviewers for their time.
               * Request a business card.
                * Shake hands in closing.
* Two or three days after the interview send a thank you
         note addressed to the interviewers.
Tips for thank you notes:
                  1. Neatly hand write or type the note.
    2. Address the note to the interviewer or the lead interviewer.
               3. Keep it short. (No longer than one page.)
     4. First paragraph: Thank the employer for the interview. Also,
            mention that you are interested in the position.
     5. Second paragraph: Briefly state a few of your skills without
repeating the information on your resume word for word. Include
     any important information not mentioned at the interview.
   6. Third paragraph: Provide your contact information, telephone
      number with area code, and an e-mail address, if available.
              7. Sign the note with your first and last name.
 8. Proofread the note to check for spelling or grammar errors. Ask
                 another person to proofread the note.
    9. Mail the note within two to three days after your interview.
Pitfalls (Reasons Why People Don't Get Hired):

          * Untidy personal appearance
    * Inability to express information clearly
    * Lack of genuine interest or enthusiasm
     * Unwillingness to start at the bottom

               * Lack of eye contact
       * Incomplete or sloppy application
