Prepare Before The Interview

Prepare and memorize a brief summary of your SKILLS and job history.

Prepare and memorize two or three accomplishments of which you are most proud of during your last three years of employment.

Prepare and memorize a two minute marketing statement to be used to close the interview that stresses how your skills and experience can contribute toward achieving the company's objectives. This statement is similar to the closing statements politicians use to conclude debates. It should be a concise summary of your accomplishments, experience and skills, education (in that order C unless you are recent graduate with no experience) and provide a promise of how you can help the company the interviewer works for. Always stay focused on how you can contribute toward helping them achieve their company goals and objectives. This statement will require several rewrites and should be practiced until it becomes second nature.

Draw on your experience in interviewing and prepare of list of typical questions you can expect to be asked during the interview. Develop three answers to each question following these guidelines:
A. Keep your answers focused on what the company is interested in
B. Use stories to reinforce and illustrate your answers.
C. Use the master sales person's way of presenting: Feature, Benefit, Advantage: I have over 7 years of experience in ISO 9001 implementation and quality control; which should allow me to quickly become a contributing member of your quality assurance team, and since I was a team leader in ISO compliance certification, I will be able to assist in expediting the ISO certification your company is working toward.
