Tips for an In-Person Interview

If you're invited to an in-person interview for a new position, congratulations! Whether you used your assertiveness, qualifications or network to wow the employer, you already passed one of the hardest tests. Now, with your foot in the door, it's up to you to seal the deal. With some preparation, a deep breath of confidence and these tips, you can walk away with a job offer.

* Do your homework.
Before the interview, brush up on the company background and key leadership. Know the important players in the industry and read the bios of the people you'll be interviewing with. Print copies of your resume and find a nice pad of paper and professional pen to bring.

* Wear something classic.
When picking the perfect outfit to wear, opt for something simple, classic and business professional. Be mindful of the dress code in your industry and avoid bold fashion statements or flashy colors. While great if you can pull them off, wearing something in-line with the status quo is always a safe option. Remember that being overdressed is better than being underdressed.

* Listen carefully and talk with tact.
When the interviewer asks questions, really listen. Don't be afraid to take notes to stay focused. Answer honestly and try to avoid doing all of the talking or exaggerating your thoughts. Be as thorough as you need to be to answer the question; sometimes simple answers may suffice.

* Be positive -- smile, energy is contagious.
Go into the interview with a good attitude. No matter how nervous you are, consciously remind yourself to smile. Employers want to hire someone who will bring energy to the team. Optimism is infectious, stand out with your vibrancy.

The more interviews you do, the more comfortable you'll be. Try not to get discouraged if you don't get the job for the first interview you have. Keep applying to jobs on hiredMYway.com and use a MYtoken for the ones you're serious about to guarantee your resume is viewed. If you're determined to find a job, you will.
