- Speak in specifics, not generalities. Think of the interview as a process of storytelling in which your role is the dissemination of specific information about your personal qualities and life experiences.
- If you don’t understand a question, simply ask, “Just so I understand, what you’re asking is…..” or paraphrase the question back to the interviewer.
- Stress important skills that all employers are looking for including initiative, honesty, reliability, teamwork, and communication skills. Use personal examples to reinforce these qualities.
- Be honest at all times. Integrity is a highly valued quality in today’s world.
- Be yourself. Beyond the professional skills and education you bring to the interview, the process is a lot about whether your personality fits into the culture of the organiziation.
