Answer to Question 1

Research the target company: One of the most important steps in effective interviewing is gathering detailed information. Find out about the company's history, mission and goals, size, geographic locations, number of employees, customers, competitors, culture, management structure, reputation in the community, financial condition, strengths and weaknesses, future plans, strengths, names of leaders, and sales and marketing strategies.



Prepare and practice: Study the job description or job listing. It can help you write a customized rsum and enable you to match your education, experience, and interests with the position.



Rehearse success stories: To feel confident and to be able to sell your qualifications, prepare and rehearse success stories. These stories are specific examples of your educational and work-related experiences that demonstrate your qualifications and achievements.



Practice answers to possible questions: Imagine the kinds of questions you may be asked and rehearse sample answers.



Clean up any digital dirt: Many companies are now using Google and social networking sites to screen applicants. Check out your online presence to see if anything needs to be cleaned up.



Decide how to dress: What you wear to a job interview still matters. Wear clothing that will make you look qualified, competent, and successful.



Gather items to bring: Decide what you should bring with you to the interview, and get everything ready the night before the interview. Place everything in a businesslike briefcase to add that final professional touch to your look.
