Interview Tips
How to be successful
during the job interview
Interview is a chance…
For you:
● to describe further your experience, education and training;
● to gain a better understanding of the organization and the position.
For the interviewer:
● to determine if you have the skills the position requires.
The job interview is a
two-way discussion
between you and the
interviewer.
Preparation
Research the
position and
organization.
Familiarize yourself
with the duties,
responsibilities and
requirements of the
position.
Review your application
and resume, and be
prepared to support past
accomplishments with
specific information.
Take the time to research
and review typical
interview questions to
help give you a
framework for your
responses.
Be flexible with
scheduling and allow
sufficient time for
the interview.
During the interview
Plan to arrive early.
Remember you get one
chance to make a first
impression.
Be prepared to summarize
your experience in about 30
seconds and describe what
you bring to the position.
Listen carefully to each
question asked.
Be sure to ask the interviewer
to restate a question if further
clarification is needed.
Focus on your achievements
relevant to the position using
examples of how your
knowledge, skills and
abilities fit the job.
Answer questions as directly
as possible.
Remain positive and avoid
negative comments about
past employers.
Be aware of your body
language and tone of voice.
Be sure to ask any final
questions about the
organization or the position.
Ask about the next steps
in the selection process to
include timeframes.
Reinforce your interest in
the position and thank the
interviewer(s) for the
opportunity to interview.
After the interview
Provide any additional
requested information
as soon as possible.
Be patient.
Remember the
hiring process
takes time.
You can follow up with your
POC (point of contact) if you
have not been contacted
within the established
timeframe.
Note
Conversations regarding salary, benefits and other human resources (HR) matters
should be primarily addressed with the servicing HR POC listed on the job
opportunity announcement.
The hiring official is looking for the right person
with the right skills to fill the vacant position.
It is up to you to demonstrate during the interview
that you are that person.
Good luck!
