Employers judge candidates based on their presentation, knowledge, ability and experience, and attitude. The document provides tips for job interviews, including dressing professionally, being prepared to discuss one's relevant skills and experience, asking questions, arriving early, greeting the interviewer with a firm handshake and eye contact, and thanking them afterwards. Candidates should expect questions about their interests, strengths, and long-term goals, and be aware of inappropriate discriminatory questions. Overall, the advice is to be confident and true to oneself during the interview process.
