The Career Services Office can assist you in this important data gathering process. This process will also provide you with questions for the interviewer about the job itself. By questioning the interviewer, you can gain specific information about the position and get clarification about areas that were vague to you in your research process. It is essential that you come to the interview with prepared questions. This demonstrates that you are interested enough to have done your homework and are taking the opportunity seriously.
Preparation also means planning what to wear for the interview.
You should plan a wardrobe that would be appropriate to the position for which you are applying. Neatness is an important part of any first impression. The initial rapport you establish with the interviewer is essential. Besides your appearance, your physical responses and body language are key to success. Such things as a firm handshake, smile, and sincere greeting set a positive tone to your meeting.
