Preparing for an Interview

Jim Lehrer Quote

Job interviews can be a daunting experience, but there are many tools and techniques to tackle any challenges and make the interview work to your favour.

First impressions can play a major role in how an employer perceives you as a candidate. What you say during the first phase of the interview may make a big difference in the outcome - in a good way or in a bad way.

In fact, some hiring managers may make a decision to reject a candidate based on what they didn't do when they met them. That's why it's important to pay attention to interview manners and to carefully think through how you will introduce yourself during a job interview.

This chapter intends to outline such hints and tips and guide you through the interview process.
