Quick Revisit of the Job Description

This will help remind you of the job’s specifics before participating in the interview.

Targeted Company Research

Research the company, be ready to discuss specifics, and engage at a level that shows your enthusiasm and interests.

Interview Practice

Make time for interview practice reviewing questions that will increase your confidence. There are interviewing tools on LinkedIn that you can use to practice.

Dress for Success

Make sure you dress for success. When you speak to the recruiter, ask them about the dress code. Communication starts with the first impression, and your appearance can speak volumes.

Communication

Research shows that about 55% of communication is about what you look like, 38% is about what you sound like, and 7% is about what you say and the words you choose. Stay woke and keep practicing.

Thank You, Emails, or Letters

Stay grateful; this may be one of many interview opportunities. Sending a note of thanks via email or snail mail is a good move to show your gratitude and interest as a candidate and even set yourself apart from other candidates.         

Focus on these foundational approaches to prepare for your interview.
