How To Interview Cary NC

Prepare

Be ready for the interview well ahead of time. That means research the company, gather questions to ask them and pick out your interview attire early. Even plan your routine and how long it will take you to get to the location the night before. Trust us, preparation will help with your confidence.

Listen

This is one of the most underused interviewing skills. Here are a few ways to pay more attention while your potential employer talks:

Make eye contact

Use nonverbal expressions

Wait for the speaker to finish

Be brief

The best interviews have a give-and-take atmosphere. Think of it as a conversation and allow the questions and answers to flow naturally. A rule of thumb is to speak one-third of the time and don’t shy away from talking about yourself.

Follow up

After the interview, wait a full 24 hours before following up with a thank-you note or e-mail. This shows your dedication to building relationships.
