The Interview

Do you tremble at the thought of having to interview for a job?

Many people, in fact, probably most people, get nervous when faced with meeting someone for the first time. Consider the potential impact a job interview can have on your life and anxiety skyrockets for many individuals.

What are some ways to lower your stress levels?

The most important thing you can do to make the process go more smoothly is to prepare for the meeting. You may be a great conversationalist, but how well do you answer questions about your employment history? Do you remember dates well? What if the interviewer asks you why you want to work for them? Do you know anything about the organization so that you can answer the question intelligently and honestly?

Preparation is essential in making a good impression.

Knowing who you are is one thing, but knowing what the employer is looking for and matching your skills and accomplishments to those key needs is vital.
