Be pleasant and smile (you are looking for a job
so make sure you show them you are happy
to be there).

the eye. Be confident since you
wouldn't be there is you didn't have the skills.

No more than 2 minutes.

Be prepared. (Bring a copy of your resume and any/or
all certificates)

During the interview, ask questions about how you
can help the employer listen to the
answers.
•
Save questions about employee benefits until you
need the information to make a decision
about joining the firm.

Refrain from negative comments concerning previous
employers. Emphasize the positive ways
in which you handled a difficult situation if one
existed.· If, toward the end
of the interview, you have some skills that weren't
explored in the interview, be sure to
mention them now. This is your chance to
showcase your talents. (If you have a portfolio
of your work, that's even better!)
