Interview for Success

The interview is the most efficient way for you and the representative of an employer to get to know each other.

However, research and preparation will significantly increase your interviewing performance and positive outcome. You cannot exactly rehearse your role in an upcoming interview because you don't know what cues will be given to you.

Common courtesy, good common sense and being yourself is always encouraged.

While there is no single correct way to conduct an interview, these are some basic rules and situations common to most interviews.
