Do you know the six guarantees of a great job interview?


Guarantee One: Review your accomplishments, skills, and knowledge before you go for an interview. Write them out so they stick in your mind.

Guarantee Two: Learn everything you can about the job, about the organization, about the industry before you go for the interview. You want to be able to show how your background makes you the ideal candidate for their job.

Guarantee Three: Let yourself be a somewhat nervous. You want the kind of nervousness that puts a bit of an edge to your personality. Of course, you don't want to go into the interview with chattering teeth and knocking knees. But you also don't want to go in so calm that you appear zonked.

Guarantee Four: Use visualization before the interview-many times before the interview-to picture things going well as well as to calm any extra jitters.

Guarantee Five: Choose clothes that are appropriate for the job but that also make you feel really good about yourself. If you feel you have a lucky blouse or bracelet or some other piece of clothing, wear it! (unless, of course, it's inappropriate for the job)

Guarantee Six: Lots of interviews begin or end with an open-ended question such as "Tell us why you're the right person for the job?" or "Is there anything more you'd like to add?" Know the major ways in which you feel you are right for this job and be prepared to talk about them.
