The Day of the Interview…(Interview tips pt 3)

Go light on the perfume. If you , try not to do so right before the interview.

Give yourself plenty of time to get to the hiring manager’s office. Aim to arrive 10 minutes early. If you arrive earlier than that, take a walk or wait outside.

If you feel nervous, take a deep breath, counting to 10 as you do so. Then, exhale slowly to the same count.

Once inside, observe your surrounding to get a feel for the workplace. Do you like what you see?

Turn off your cell phone, pager or anything else that beeps. The interview is too important to be interrupted.

Remember , the interview starts as soon as you step inside the building. Be courteous to everyone you meet because you never know who has a say in the hiring decision.

After the interview…
