Once you get the call for the interview, the next thing that you have to do is prepare for it. Following are a 5 steps for a successful interview:

(1) Do your research – It doesn’t matter how much knowledge or experience you have about the position that you are trying to get in a company if you don’t have a clue who the company is or what they do. It is disastrous to enter into an interview and not be able to tell your interviewer what their company is about. How else are you going to tell them why you feel that you would be a good addition to their company? A good and less time consuming way to get to know about a company is to look up their website. You can gather general knowledge, including the names of key people and their job titles. You should sift through most of their pages, including the pages that show samples of their work and/or products.


(2) Know your contact – When called for an interview, ask to whom you will be talking to. It is nice to be able to greet your interviewer by name at the beginning of the interview without first being told who they are. It shows that you are on top of things, and have prepared before hand. You will also want to do some research on the person that will be conducting your interview. Learn what they do for the company and try to get some samples of their work or achievements in the company. If you know what department that you are going to work in you may want to get the names of your potential colleagues and superiors prior to the interview as well. This way you can get some information about their roles in the company and the types of work that they have done. Mention some of the things that you learned about your potential colleagues in the interview and about how much you look forward to working with them in the future. If you can, give an example of their work so that you will appear more sincere.


(3) Practice your responses – If you are prone to nervousness, practice giving your responses to the questions that may be asked of you. Practice your wording and tone. Keep your responses as brief as possible but with as much detail as you can. When you are trying to work out the proper responses to the interviewer’s questions, you will also want to practice the art of getting your nerves under control as well as ridding yourself of any other odd habits while talking; like expressing yourself with your hands. Practice answering your interview questions with a friend. Get his or her opinion about your delivery and gestures.

Managing Your Boss: 4 Rules To Live By and 4 Steps To Take
John was a former boss of mine. Before I started working for him, I had heard from others that he had a very good reputation and so I was really looking forward to working with him.

(4) Dress the part – Pre-select your attire the day before your interview. Make sure your clothes do not have any wrinkles or stains on them. Pick an outfit that best suits the type of job you are applying for. If you are going to work in an office setting, dress conservatively. Soft earth tones are best for women. A nice dark suit is good for a male. Of course if you are planning to work outdoors or in an artistic environment, you can dress a little more casually. Just avoid wearing denim jeans, over-sized or under-sized clothing.


(5) Get organized – Prepare for your interview the day before. Make a checklist, if need be. Have an extra resume handy during the interview and bring a note pad to take notes. If you have a business card, have one handy since it makes for easy contact later, and it also shows that you are professional and may help the employer to remember your name.

Use these tips to prepare for an interview as you can never over-prepare for one!
