The Interview

Practice your interview with a friend.  Have your friend ask you some of the typical questions that are listed on this website. Practice asking the questions that you have prepared for the interviewer.  You can even tape your interview to hear how you sound.  Pay special attention to your diction ( how you pronounce the words), you speed in speaking, and your body language. 

Double check all of your documents.  You should bring several copies of you resume and references.  There might be more than one interviewer and there may be many people involved in the decision of new hires.  Your chances will increase if everyone involved has the pertinent information in front of them. If you have a work portfolio, make sure that it is up to date and bring that also.
Bring a pen and notebook to record information that you need to remember, but do not take notes during the interview.
