Asked by Employers Ask an Employer
Self-Preparation
Your goal is to present yourself as the kind of candidate the employer is looking for: someone with a good knowledge of self, capabilities and shortcomings, someone with a clear vision of goals and opportunities.
 
Research the Employer
Find out as much as you can about the potential employer. Doing so will allow you to match your unique skills and qualifications to the employer’s needs. Find out who they are, where they are located, what their major products/services are, and what kinds of opportunities they have available. Compose specific questions for the interviewer based on your research.
 
Positive Attitude
Project a favorable image to the interviewer by arriving early, dressing appropriately, and behaving in a courteous manner. Be poised and enthusiastic about your opportunities with the employer, and confident in your abilities. This helps ensure that you make a good impression, especially in the first five minutes of the interview, during which an interviewer frequently determines whether or not you are a serious candidate.
 
Interview Awareness
Prepare for the kinds of questions the interviewer might ask. Familiarize yourself with interview questions in general and formulate several ways you might answer them (see the next section for a list of commonly asked interview questions). When asked a question, listen carefully and respond directly. Some interviewers rely heavily upon body language. Be conscious of your posture and do not shy away from direct eye contact.
