Well frankly, you are not alone. But the last thing you should do when looking for a new job is tell the person interviewing that you could have killed your last boss. Don’t air your dirty laundry and thoughts in public… well at least not in an interview.

Here are some helpful interview tips:

Be Prepared. Learn about the company/organization you are going to interview at. Know what job you want- and go for it- don’t be wishy washy saying- well whatever will pay me the most money. Know your resume back to front, and inside upside and all around!They will ask you questions about it- be knowledgeable of what you have written down- especially if you hired someone to write your resume for you. Don’t turn it in without living it for a few days prior.

Be Ready for Questions. Be able to describe your experience and show how it relates to the job you are interviewing for. Even if you don’t have case specific experience in that particular position or even field, past experience can transform quite easily. Know what you strengths and weaknesses are- especially as pertains to this company and the position at hand. Woo them!

Personal Appearance. Got the looks? Well you better look the part. Be polished, and sleek and professional. Don’t smoke, don’t chew gum. PERIOD.

The Interview Process. Be early- Always early… Remember to give a firm handshake to show your strong personality. be relaxed and user proper English. Be enthusiastic at all times, and speak clearly and speak up. You should be tired at the end of the interview if you have been as excited as you should be for this position!

Try those tips- and holler if you want more help on your resume, cover letter or thank you letters!
