Interview Advice

Do you know how to put your best foot forward in the interview process? Remember, it's all about the first impression, because yes, you only have one shot. Here are twenty tips to help you land the job of your dreams, or the one on the way to the job of your dreams.

When you don't land the job after an interview, it's time to look within yourself to see what mistakes you are making during those precious make-it-or die minutes with someone who can actually offer you a job.

Far away from a test, consider the interview as a courtship or dance. Essentially, you're telling a story about yourself and the way you have approached work and relationships. If you're prepared and relaxed, you're more likely to land the job.

The last thing you want to do is blather on about yourself. Salespeople call this technique "Throwing Up on the Customer." It's bad in sales. It's very bad in a job interview.

If you are artistic or technical, you probably hate interviews more than anyone. Why? Because you are focused on the merits of your work; you measure your success by the sheer quality of your work.
