Job Interview Tips (Kevin Varnes 1st blogger)

Hello all! I am going to mention some important points about job interviews. I think we can all agree that a job interview can make us all very nervous and uneasy. There are some things that we can do to alleviate those feelings. The first thing which I hope everyone knows to do is dress to impress. I would have to say in all formal business interviews a suit or jacket should be required. Now I can't really speak for the ladies but I am sure a business suit will do just fine. There is truth to first impressions when interviewing for a job. Making sure you are well groomed is also a plus. These points are obvious and I hope everyone follows them. A couple of other quick points to remember are to be prepared for the interview. Make sure you have a few copy's of your resume and a pen with you. It also helps to do some research on the company you are interviewing for in case questions about the company are thrown your way. It is important to be on time which means five to 10 minutes early. During the interview remain calm and look the person in the eye and remain attentive. After the interview a firm handshake is always a plus. A final important tip after the interview is to make sure you follow up with a thank you card. I hope these simple tips will help us all to succeed in our future!

  1. As repetitive as we all were with the interview tips, I think everyone had timelines at the top of their lists.
