In interviews, your job is to convince a recruiter that you have
the skills, knowledge and experience for the job. Show

organization's culture and job description, and you get that

Learn about the company online
Do some fast research, which will give you something to talk about
in addition to the job description. Go to the employer's website, or
Google information such as:
How big is the company in terms of annual sales or employees?
What does the company say about its products or services?
What recent news (such as a new product, a press release, an
interview with the CEO) can you discuss?
If the company is public, the boilerplate at the bottom of its press
releases will tell you a lot.

Plan what to wear.
Go neutral. Conservative business attire, such as a
neutral-colored suit and professional shoes, is best.
Err formal. If instructed to dress “business casual,” use
good judgment.
Plug in that iron. Make sure your clothes are neat and
wrinkle-free.
Dress to impress. Be sure that your overall appearance
is neat and clean.

Follow up.
Many interviews end with “Do you have any questions?”
Bring a list. You may say, “In preparing for today's meeting, I took some time to jot down a
few questions. Please allow me to review my notes.”
 Be strategic. Cover information not discussed or clarify a previous topic — do not ask for
information that can be found on the organization’s website.
 In your opinion, what makes this organization a great place to work?
 What do you consider the most important criteria for success in this job?
 Tell me about the organization’s culture.
 How will my performance be evaluated?
 What are the opportunities for advancement?
 What are the next steps in the hiring process?
