Before, During and After Interview

Research the organization. Find out all you can through personal contacts, written materials, the Internet, etc.

Conduct a self-assessment so you are prepared to articulate your interest in the position and the contributions you can make utilizing your skills and abilities.

Organize the pertinent materials you will want to take to the interview - extra copies of your resume, writing sample, transcript, list of references, etc.

Assemble your interview attire. Always dress neatly and conservatively, keeping the interviewer in mind. First impressions do count.

Reassure yourself. Confidence in your abilities demonstrates to an interviewer that you are the one they want to hire
