INTERVIEWING
At this point, your efforts have earned you an interview request, now it's time to convey your value and interest pertaining to the opportunity in an interview. You want to enter the interview knowing what the company does, why you're interested to work there, and why your candidacy is a strong fit.
Review the Preparation resources to equip yourself with relevant information for the interview.
Practicing interviewing is important, as you want to appear confident and relevant in the answers you provide. Utilize BIG Interview (Interview Rehearsal Website) or Jobscan tutorials and mock interviewing capabilities. Practicing doesn't need to end there, utilize your career coach for practice and feedback.
An effective end to an interview consists of shaking hands, thanking the person for his or her time, and reaffirming your interest in the position. It is recommended to follow up your interview with a thank-you letter or email and complete a post-interview assessment. Learn more here in the Post-Interview Activities.
