Interview Tips

Three parts of an interview:

  • Questions about you
  • Questions to determine if you are right for the job
  • Questions you should ask about the position

Be prepared to discuss what in your background and experience is most relevant and useful for the job. Before your interview, research the field, the job and the employer. Based on the information you have:

  • Identify 3-5 of the most important tasks of the job
  • How do you think the employer would like you to behave?
  • Know 3-5 significant contributions you can make

Responsibilities of the interviewer and interviewee during the interview process:

  • The interviewer assesses your capabilities and how they match the needs of the job and the relevance of your experience to the needs of the job. The interviewer also assesses your personality and determines how it will fit the needs of the job/work environment.
  • As the interviewee, you are responsible for advocating for yourself. Establish a common ground. You are familiar with and capable of doing the job, so show the interviewer you match their assessment concerns.
  • Demonstrate your skills with words of interest and enthusiasm.
