Learn as much as possible about the company's products and services, business strategies and values, plans for growth, target markets, and key challenges. Listen to the interviewer. Always give direct answers to questions. Interviewers do not want to listen to lengthy answers. Take mental notes so you can respond to the interviewer's questions in an intelligent, knowledgeable manner.
Interviewers use the process to assess both the communication and listening skills of the candidate.
Take time and think when answering a question so that you may give a good answer. You never get a second chance to make a good impression. That is why the ten steps are so important. In the first interview, employers are looking at how well candidates will fit with the company. Employers are also looking to see how trainable candidates will be based on their past experiences, interpersonal skills, and education.
