【题目】Job interviewing never seems to get any easier—even when you have gone on more interviews than you can count. 【1】 Here are job interview tips to help prepare you to interview effectively.

Practice

Practice answering interview questions and practice your responses to the typical job interview questions and answers most employers ask. Think of concrete examples you can use to highlight your skills.

Research

Do your homework about the employer and the industry so you are ready for the question what do you know about this company. 【2】 If you’re not sure of the name, call and ask ahead of the interview. Try to relate what you have learned about the company when answering questions.

【3】

Make sure your interview dress is neat, tidy and appropriate for the type of firm you are interviewing with. Bring a nice folder with copies of your resume. Include a pen and paper for note taking.

Be On Time

During the job interview try to relax and stay as calm as possible. 【5】 Maintain eye contact with the interviewer. Listen to the entire question (active listening) before you answer and pay attention.
