When you are called for an interview, you can assume that the employer is interested in you. The employer has a need that you may be able to meet. It is your goal to identify that need and convince the employer that you are the one for the job. Although interviews can be stressful, when you are well prepared, there is no reason to panic. An interview generally lasts 30 to 60 minutes and most questions fall into standard categories.
Preparation is the key to a successful job search campaign.
Gather all information and documents potentially needed for the interview. The more you know about the job, the employer and the industry, the better prepared you will be to target your qualifications. Match your qualifications to the requirements of the job. A good approach is to write out your qualifications along with the job requirements. If you lack experience or skill in a certain area, think about how you are able to make up for those deficiencies.
