Arrive for your interview about 15 minutes in advance.
First impressions have a high impact.
The receptionist, secretary or another staff member who greets you may not be your interviewer.
Greet the interviewer with a firm but not crushing handshake, a warm smile and look them in the eye.
Turn your cell phone off or to vibrate, and resist the temptation to take a peek at any time before, during or after the meeting, when you are in view of the interviewer.
Exude energy, enthusiasm and a positive attitude at all times.
Take inventory of your strengths prior to the interview.
Be prepared to say why the job interests you.
At the end of the interview, be prepared to ask a few questions about the job.
