Preparing for Your Interview

Having an interview is like taking a test; the more prepared you are, the better it will go. And, as with any test, cramming isn't nearly as effective as taking the time over a number of days to ensure you know your stuff. Here's how to spend your time leading up to the day of the interview.

Confirm location, date, time and contacts:

When you schedule your interview, make sure you accurately record the date, time, location and name(s) of the people who will be meeting with you.

Research your prospective employer:

Having some background knowledge about the company will really benefit you in your interview. Not only will your knowledge show that you have an interest in the company, but it also demonstrates that you take the initiative to conduct research.
