Salary Exectations!
Timing is everything in the interview. Let them bring up the subject of money. If you are asked what your salary expectations are too early in the process, just say you would rather postpone that discussion until you have more information about the position.


Sell Yourself!
Interviewing is about selling yourself. The product you are selling is you. Give them reasons to buy. Tell them what you can do for them. Emphasize what you can bring to the company, department and position. Convince them that your product is better than the competition's


Ask your way into a better job!
You can not really tell how good a job is from a want ad. There's often a gap between the exciting opportunity portrayed in the ad and the actual job.

You can often get the straight scoop about a job by asking the right questions. For example, in the job interview, ask, "What attributes are most needed to succeed in this job?"

After you are offered a job but before accepting it, ask a few more questions or even ask permission to talk with your future coworkers.

Do not forget to listen!
Listening is one of the most underused interview skills. Most candidates are so nervous about answering interview questions correctly that they forget to listen.

Follow these tips:

  • Listen through eye contact.
  • Listen with nonverbal expressions.
  • Listen until the speaker is finished.
  • Do not interrupt.

Ask the power questions!
In the earlier you can ask these questions:

  • What are you most hoping to find in the person you hire?
  • What would be my first priorities on the job?

it is OK to be nervous!
Not only is it OK to be nervous about an interview, but it is essential for you to accept how you feel. Telling yourself you should feel differently than you do is unrealistic and just makes you feel bad about yourself. What's the worst that can happen at an interview? For many, it would be not getting an offer. Did you ever think that maybe the job wasn't right for you? Try to look at the process as a learning experience.
