Prepare for the question. Be prepared for more in-depth questions regarding your past performance and experiences. Have additional questions on hand about the position, expectations and challenges.
Think globally. Remember to think about how the position affects everyone, not just the career. Hiring managers like to see that you understand the bigger picture.
Be yourself. Above all else, remember to be yourself. Let your personality come through with everything you do.
Close the sale. At the end of the interview, always try to close the sale by asking for the job.
Address concerns. Follow up with any last minute questions to address any concerns about your ability to succeed in the new role.
Say thank you. Always thank the manager. Just as you have put in time preparing for hte interview, so has the interviewer. Thank them for their time and the opportunity to interview for the position.
The Truth, even if you don't like it, it's still the truth.
Can you hear me now? Through all that the world is screaming, my voice will reach you somehow.  |  | |

yup, have done all that as well.--always there 15 min. ahead of appointment.
You cannot ask for the job as they alway say, we have more people to interview, which is true. Sometimes I will say, are my chances good to get into your company?-----but worded professionally, they always say yes, they certainly are not going to come out and say no then.
I do wonder sometimes if my personality does come on to strong................I have seen others just sit there, and say nothing? |  | | Edited: April 26, 2008 @ 13:22 |   |
