• Practice, Practice, Practice
• Make a good impression
4. Know Yourself

• Identify 5 – 10 work or school experiences that demonstrate your skills
and accomplishments

either a positive result or a good learning experience
• What do you want to do and where do you want to do it?
• How are you perceived by others?
5. Do Your Research
• Research the employer you’re interviewing with
• Conduct informational interviews
6. Practice, Practice, Practice!
• To better prepare yourself for the interview, as well as
assist in conquering pre-interview anxiety, practice is key
• Attend interviewing workshops and view interviewing
videos/DVDs in the Career Center

• Practice for the interview with family or friends and
practice, practice, practice
7. Proper Attire • DO:
• Wear conservative attire, such as a dark
colored business suit
• Polish your shoes
• Stick to a low business heel shoe
• Have hair neatly brushed and face shaved
before interview
• Bring a portfolio or briefcase

Grey, and Pastel colors are most appropriate

or excessive amounts of cologne, perfume, or
hair gel
• Wear skirts that reach above the knees
• Wear stiletto heels
8. Keys to the Successful Interview:
DURING the Interview
• Be prompt and
prepared
• Poise and body
language
• Answer the questions
• Closing statements
9. Be Prompt and Prepared
• Arrive 10 to 15 minutes before the scheduled interview time
• Turn the cell phone OFF – vibrations make noise
• Give a firm handshake, make eye contact, and smile when
you are greeted
• Bring extra copies of your resume and a list of references
10. Poise and Body Language
• Many interviewers will assess you based on:
• Appropriate eye contact and posture
• Correctly pronouncing his/her name
• If you talk easily or are overly formal and reserved
• If you seem enthusiastic and confident
• When greeted, introduce yourself and shake interviewer’s hand. Don’t sit until
interviewer is seated
• Never chew gum during an interview
• Most employers agree that the first five minutes of an interview will tell them
the most about a person
• First impressions are important
11. Answering the Questions
• Speak slowly and clearly. Don’t be afraid to pause for a moment to
collect your thoughts
• Listen and understand the interviewer’s questions before responding
thoroughly yet concisely
• Be honest- don’t try to cover up mistakes. Instead, focus on how you
learned from them
• Give positive nonverbal feedback to the interviewer
• Smile, be enthusiastic, showing a positive attitude
• Avoid negative terms and comments when responding to questions.
Stress positives
12. Be Prepared for Behavior-based Questions!
• Describe a time when you were faced with problems or
stresses at work that tested your coping skills. What did
you do?
• Give an example of a time when you had to be relatively
quick in coming to a decision.
• Give me an example of an important goal you had to set
and tell me about your progress in reaching that goal.
• Give me an example of a problem you faced on the job,
and tell me how you solved it.
• Tell me about a situation in the past year in which you
had to deal with a very upset customer or co-worker.
13. Your keys to RESPONDING well to
these types of questions are:
Be specific, not general or vague!
Don’t describe how you would behave.
Describe how you DID behave. If
you later decided you should have
behaved differently, explain this. The
interviewer will see that you learned
something from experience.
14. S.T.A.R approach:
S - Situation. Narrate a particular experience wherein you have exhibited an
exceptional and desirable skill. Be sure to cite important details involved in the
scenario.
T - Task. Describe the tasks involved in the particular situation.
A - Action. List the action plans that you did to address the situation's task.
R - Result. Enumerate the outcome of your action plan; It's better to speak in terms
of quantifiable accomplishments (100% increase in efficiency, etc.).
15. S.T.A.R approach:
• Example:
1. Situation - During my second year of teaching, I became an adviser of the First Year students.
2. Task - I noticed that there have been a lot or recorded tardiness in our section.
3. Action - I introduced a class program to give incentives to early birds as well as a buddy
system wherein responsible students will encourage their struggling classmates come to school
early.
4. Result - For the entire year, there was a 90% decrease in student tardiness in our classroom
and our school's guidance counselor adapted the program which is now being used for all year
levels in our campus.
16. What about Answering Questions?
Your points must be CLEAR, RELEVANT AND
ADEQUATE:
• to enable the interviewer to understand what you are
trying to say; to determine your strengths for that
particular job; and to have sufficient information to
make a good decision.
The interviewer needs to determine if you can do the
job, if you will do the job, and if you fit in. Hiring
the RIGHT person is the goal.
17. Closing Statements
• Be prepared with your closing statement reiterating your
interest and abilities
• Be prepared to ask questions of the interviewer
• The initial interview is NOT the time to ask about
salary
• Thank the interviewer and ask for a business card

30. 5 Interview Mistakes you don’t know you’re
making
•Mistake #1:
You didn’t speak directly to the
school culture and needs.
33. Mistake #4:
You appear “distant” during the
interview.
• To avoid this problem, practice positive body language. Oh, and give yourself a
break if you miss an answer. It’ll be OK, you probably did better than you think.
34. Mistake #5:
You didn’t speak to results. Numbers
matter. They’re attention-getters on the
resume and deal-cinchers in the
interview.
35. Just Remember…
• BE CONFIDENT – Sell Yourself!
• Have FUN and ENJOY the interviewing
process
• When in doubt… MOCK INTERVIEW!
Editor's Notes
What do you have to offer? Skills, accomplishments, experience, goals..
Research before hand (products, size, services, number of employees, history, and mission.)
Use the information obtained to form questions to ask the interviewer at the end of the session.
In the end, employers hire people they like, and who will interact well on an interpersonal basis with the rest of the staff. Therefore, you should communicate that you are a likable candidate who can get along well with others. From the employer’s perspective, hiring is a risky, expensive business.
