Re: Interview Tips

Some interview tips that I have learned:

Eat before you go
shake hands firmly and look the person in the face
look professional and neat
avoid flashy clothes or jewelry
have copies of your resume
get there 10-15 minutes early-not earlier
ask questions about the job and company (see if you can do some research before you go)
Come prepared with references

I'm sure there are others

Re: Interview Tips

That's great! Just try to be calm and give clear, concise answers.

Prepare some question beforehand and look up some sample interview questions they may ask you so you can have some answers ready - the basics like "what are you most proud of?" or "what is something you need to improve on" ...etc

good luck!

Re: Interview Tips

One thing I just stumbled on recently -- always have a situation prepared for when they ask you those questions like -- when was there a time when you had to deal with a situation where you had to prioritize something or please give me a situation where you had an unhappy customer, client, co-worker, student, parent -- whatever the case may be. Just be prepared for answers to that crap, too!

Good luck!!
