An interviewer's mission is to assess your qualifications
compared to the other candidates interviewed. Asking you
questions is their way of accomplishing that mission.
Preparing meaningful responses in advance is your way of
impressing the interviewer.
Be prepared to talk about your skills, competencies,
qualifications and accomplishments especially as they
pertain to the specific opening. Know how to state your
likes and dislikes, your strengths, weaknesses and goals
succinctly and fluently.
Especially know how to convey the value you bring to the
table ? the strengths, unique gifts and marketable assets
that are distinctly yours. If you want to stand out in the
huge ocean of candidates that represents your competition,
you must be prepared to state how you differentiate yourself
from the crowd.
You must be able to respond appropriately to the question of
why you left your previous position, assuming you left
voluntarily. No matter how challenging your supervisor was
or how grueling the workload, you must frame your response
in a positive light.

incredibly successful people to get what they want—and
how to master it.
Make
sure you do not discuss salary. Interviewers are aware of
average job salaries and want to be sure you are in the
ballpark. However, their knowing your salary history or
requirements can disqualify you or lock you in to
compensation that does not match your worth. If asked, you
can simply state that your salary is negotiable.
While your answers will help the interviewer assess your
skills for the position at hand, it's how you respond that
more importantly determines your overall fit with the
company. Personality is ninety percent of the battle. You
may answer a question in a qualifying way, but your attitude
could be telling them no.
At the
outset, you must establish a rapport with your interviewer
and maintain the chemistry between you throughout the
meeting. You could be the most qualified candidate for the
position, but the person with whom the interviewer feels the
most comfortable gets the offer.
Be prepared to ask your own questions - about the position
itself, the company and opportunities for your own growth.
This allows you to quickly assess the viability of your
pursuing the position further. An interviewer may like you,
especially because of your questions, and want you to
continue through subsequent interview stages; however, you
may decide the job is not for you.
Come to the interview dressed appropriately, and on time.
Your handshake needs to be firm but not gripping. Eye
contact must be maintained throughout the interview. Sit
upright in your chair and try not to shift your posture too
much. Remember, you’re there to sell yourself; before the
interview is over, make sure you ask for the offer. Fully
prepared, you will come away a success.
