You are so excited that you have been asked to interview for a position you applied for recently. Now you need to prepare 
for that interview. Your chances of being offered the job is greater if you have a good interview. The key to a good interview is preparation. Here are some tips to help you prepare for your interview.
- Research the company. Go to their website and find out their core products and services. Get a feel of their environment and culture. This information will help you answer questions related to their business.
- Review the behavioral-based interview questions you will most likely be asked. Practice your STAR Method responses. The STAR Method is a way of responding by discussing the specific Situation (S), Task (T), Action (A), and Result (R) of the situation you are describing.
- Present yourself in a positive manner. Arrive early, dress professionally, smile, speak clearly, have a good handshake, and make good eye contact.
- Have a few copies of your resume and samples of your work if applicable.
- Make sure you ask for a business card so you can send a thank you note. Send your thank you note 24 to 48 hours after your interview.
