Interview Tips
1. Be prepared! Learn as much as you can about the company and position in which you are interested. Make sure you have your resume in front of you during the interview and be prepared to talk about the skills and experience you have listed.
2. Practice potential responses out loud, in front of a mirror or patient friends and family members…or a recruiter at LHB!
3. Practice asking questions. Employers will expect you to ask about matters that concern you and the company.
4. The interview is an opportunity to share information and talk with someone in your field. You will be expected to talk about yourself, your experience and sometimes values. Don't be shy about your accomplishments and experiences but don't be cocky; just be yourself.
5. Demonstrate to your interviewer your interest in the conversation, company and position. Ask perceptive questions, be alert, make eye contact, provide relevant information, and relay your knowledge of and interest in the field and company.
6. Be courteous and respectful always. Don't be late - whether it is a phone screen or face-to-face interview. Call people by their titles unless specifically directed to do otherwise. Express your thanks for the organization's consideration of your candidacy.
7. Arrive at least 15 minutes before the interview to collect yourself and take a few deep breaths. You'd be surprised how much that will help as compared to rushing in at the last minute. If you're at the company location, use that time to observe what's going on to see if it is a place where you'd like to work?
