1. Before the applicant arrives, take a few moments to familiarize yourself with her resume. She deserves to be treated respectfully, and knowing a little bit about her background will show that you are giving her application true consideration.
   
   
2. Be available at the appointed time. This sends the message that you see that the applicant's time is as valuable as yours.
   
   
3. Greet the prospective employee warmly and make an effort to put him at ease. Introduce yourself, invite the applicant to take a seat, and offer a refreshment, if available. Maintain a pleasant appearance at all times. Not only is it polite to lessen his anxiety, but by making him comfortable, you will establish a friendly rapport, encouraging him to be open and honest with you.
