Before nosotros hop in, simply wanted to accept 2 sentences to utter almost my outfit. I honey wearing a matching laid in addition to this definitely fits the bill! I hateful who doesn't honey a practiced windowpane dress/balzer combo that's also rather affordable? I experience similar wearing something similar to this to an interview is dressed upwards (but non besides much) without beingness one-time in addition to tardily almost it! Also this post gave me a pretty practiced excuse to recess out my LV portfolio that was a wonderful gift from my mom around the fourth dimension I moved to New York!

So lets hop into the meat of the post in addition to part your (and mine!) best tips for interviews. Thought I would recess it out into before, during in addition to later to-dos in addition to tips. There are some actually helpful in addition to valuable lessons hither that you lot tin apply to a ton of places inward your life. I promise it may assist whomever is reading this.

Before:

Do your homework on the company, the interviewer in addition to the industry
And I don't hateful simply reading their "about us" page -- actually accept a deep dive into the company. What are their center values? What is their mission statement? Their history? Their invention for the future? Same for the manufacture -- where has it been, where tin it go? How tin you lot or the fellowship assist to acquire there? For the interviewer, don't stem them but acquire to know what they've done (LinkedIn is a practiced identify for this!)

Practice, practice, practice. 
Get create for the ordinarily asked questions similar "tell me almost a fourth dimension when you lot didn't concur alongside your supervisor"or "tell me almost a fourth dimension you lot didn't succeed" -- you lot know the ones I'm talking about! We all enquire the same questions alongside a similar marker of difference. So gear upwards for that! Mock interviews alongside friends, mentors, family. Practice inward the mirror. Use flip cards -- whatever helps you lot the best!

Get create to utter money. 
Even if it doesn't come upwards up inward the interview, it's best to travel prepared. Know your worth, travel create to defend it. Be strong, brave, steady, calm. Know the manufacture in addition to do your enquiry on your position. What is fair, what is doable. And practise these negotiations! You tin do it -- you lot simply stimulate got to create out for it.

Power Pose. 
Do it early on in addition to often.

Arrive early.
Arrive thence early on that goose egg could stimulate got a conduct chances at making you lot late. There is goose egg worse than someone who is late. Arriving early on is curious in addition to it shows you lot care.

Think of meaningful questions to ask.
Prepare to enquire some questions! This interview is a 2 means street in addition to a conversation. They desire to see you've done your homework, came prepared in addition to stimulate got actually pose idea in addition to emotion into your interview. Ask them the piece of cake things similar what they similar best almost the fellowship but also don't travel afraid to enquire some difficult hitting questions similar what almost my resume/experience most concerns you.

During:

Be overnice to everyone inward the building.
This should travel you lot all the fourth dimension always. But you lot never know who is who in addition to also beingness overnice in addition to happy makes you lot a happy person!

Don't stimulate got your outcry upwards out.
Seriously, plow it off, burry it inward your pocketbook in addition to don't fifty-fifty call upwards almost it until you're out of the building.

Have a theater handshake.
Aint nobody desire to hire a dead fish.

Listen.
Don't travel thinking almost the adjacent question, your respond shape before, what you're having for dejeuner -- simply LISTEN. And heed alongside intent. Lean in, present them alongside your eyes in addition to trunk linguistic communication that they stimulate got your attention. Take inward what they are saying, sympathize it in addition to purpose it to assist you lot inward the interview.

If you lot stimulate got a outcry upwards interview... 
Stand upwards in addition to displace around-- it volition acquire your liberate energy upwards in addition to it volition come upwards across inward your voice. And e'er always always smiling when you're talking. Do this inward somebody too! You tin withdraw heed it inward your note in addition to phonation in addition to it volition also assist you lot relax in addition to experience happier.

Overdress.
I'm non talking similar a gown or anything but it's e'er meliorate to travel overdressed than under. Even when applying to a casual office, it's e'er best to await your best. Plus you lot FEEL meliorate when you're dressed up. Wear your powerfulness color, vesture what makes you lot experience good!

Bring your paperwork.
Not talking almost the tardily materials -- but your resume! Bring a difficult printed re-create of your resume, your encompass alphabetic lineament in addition to fifty-fifty some samples of your work. Put it inward a folder for them to conk on in addition to convey multiple of them. You never know who mightiness popular inward in addition to you lot e'er desire to stimulate got to a greater extent than than non stimulate got enough.

Be real. Be yourself. 
Obviously travel yourself (always) but travel existent inward your responses in addition to weaknesses. I know growing upwards we're taught to part our lowest forcefulness "my weakness is beingness a perfectionist!" -- people simply see correct through it. Be honest alongside your responses (that you've idea almost in addition to prepared!!) in addition to part a existent flaw or weakness in addition to part how you're either working on it or how you've been able to overcome it.

Don't utter badly.
About your previous employer, your boss -- anyone! Talking bad almost other people inward full general is no means to showcase yourself. It exclusively inward plow hurts you lot in addition to how you lot look.

Remember your trunk language.
This goes mitt inward mitt alongside beingness confident/faking confidence -- permit your trunk linguistic communication speak for itself. Sit upwards straight, lean inward when appropriate, hold oculus contact -- the master copy things to showcase you lot are interested, eager in addition to confident inward yourself in addition to your ability.

Answer the question.
Make certain you lot e'er respond the question. Don't skirt around, travel direct frontwards (don't ramble inward general) in addition to brand certain what you've said answered every portion of the question. There is goose egg worse thence waisting fourth dimension in addition to withal non getting an respond to what you lot were looking for.

Listen, think, pause, answer.
Never travel afraid to accept a instant to respond a question. Think almost what you're trying to say, accept a instant to yourself, calm your nerves -- it's ok!

After:

Say thanks.
Wether it travel via e-mail or personal annotation card, e'er brand certain to follow upwards in addition to give thank you lot the person/people who took fourth dimension out of their twenty-four hours to encounter alongside you. In full general this is practiced practise in addition to is almost thence mutual instantly it's a large strike against you lot when you lot don't do it. It's never besides early on to transportation it but don't hold off longer than 12 hours to do so. Also, never transportation from your phone! Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 practiced dominion inward general.

If you lot don't acquire hired, don't travel afraid to enquire why.
Every loss is a learning experience (just got that from Game of Thrones this evening lol). Ask them what you lot tin do meliorate for adjacent time, what you lot tin operate on, their thoughts on your interview -- people are e'er happy to assist in addition to give feedback where they can.


And a favorite tip: travel early, honest in addition to hungry
