Step 3 PRACTICE Makes Perfect

Try a mock interview. Several days before your interview, have a friend or family member ask you interview questions.

Prepare for your interview by reviewing sample interview questions you could expect an employer to ask you such as:

Why do you want to work for this company?

What are your strengths? Weaknesses?

Tell me about your education and training background.

What was your favorite subject or activity in school?

Review these strategies for the interview:

Be honest and think quickly.

Speak clearly and maintain eye contact with the interviewer.

Explain what you can do for the employer and why you want the job.

Remember to use good examples to illustrate your point and your skills.

Express yourself in a positive manner.

Avoid appearing desperate or overly confident for the position.

Avoid saying negative things about previous employers.
