An increasing number of interviewers are interested in determining the actual courses you have taken, and many will ask you to provide them with this information. Check with the Registrar's Office to obtain a copy of your academic record. It is also a good idea to carry a typewritten list of your references which indicates their names, titles, addresses and telephone numbers. You will also want to carry a pen and paper along to make notes following the interview, particularly about your impressions and about any requests the employer made that need your action. Additionally, it is generally best to refrain from referring to notes during the interview.
Many employers incorporate the concept of behavioral interviewing when selecting employees.
Behavioral interviewing is based on the concept of behaviorism or the idea that future success can be predicted from past success. The more specific the response to the question the better. Answering behavioral questions takes patience and practice but is really no more difficult than answering other employer questions. Although no single interviewer will ask you all the questions that follow, this listing is designed to give you an idea of the types of questions you can expect to be asked. Study it carefully and prepare to respond effectively to these and similar other questions.
