Acing The Interview

Interview Preparation and Success Tips

An interview is a way for a hiring manager to evaluate a prospective student or employee for a job, internship, or school admission. Interviews are an important aspect of the application process because it provides a two-way opportunity for the employer to consider and assess the candidate as well as the interviewee to grasp a better understanding of the organization, job, company, or school.

Company Research is Critical:

 

Knowing as much as you can about a company is key to success in an interview and can help you understand if you would fit in. Official sources such as the company website and news sites are great, but so are unofficial sites such as blogs, Facebook, and Twitter.

 

Informational Interviewing

One of the best ways to learn about an occupation, industry or company is to talk to people working in the field. The process is called Informational Interviewing. Unlike a Job interview, this is an interview that you request. The purpose is for you to gather relevant information by asking questions of experienced professionals. Therefore, it is important that you do not turn the conversation into a job interview.
