Interview Tips

      Hope you’ve had a splendid semester! It’s that time of year again! Our semester is dwindling down (43 days left officially), and Summer is upon us. Are you going to look for a Summer job? Or perhaps you are graduating and looking for a job. Either way, there is going to be that inevitable interview. Here are a few things to avoid:

Use slang You hit it off with the employer and get comfortable, that’s no excuse to turn off your professional mode. Show the employer that you can be both personable and professional at the same time.

How much does the position pay? Let’s not put the cart before the horse on this one. You haven’t even been offered the job yet. Wait for an offer or for the subject to arise later in the interview. If asked how much you should be paid, offer a range and not a set number.

What does your company do? C’mon now, we’ve been over this before. RESEARCH YOUR COMPANIES! Google them, find them on Facebook/Twitter/Linkedin! You should know what the company does before you walk into an interview. Ask a more specific question about their company, showing that you, indeed, know what they do and have come prepared.

Be prepared the first time around and amaze your potential employers with your interviewing skills!
Good luck!
