1. Understand your capabilities. Before the interview, consider your skills and experience and how they align with the job's qualifications. Make a list of your top strengths, skills and achievements that you'd like to highlight during the interview. Consider asking your friends, family and teachers for their thoughts on your list. This can help you become more self-aware and give you the confidence you need to speak about your capabilities during the interview.
2. Research the job and company. Reviewing the job description and responsibilities before the interview can help you determine what the interviewer may ask you. It can also help you determine what questions to ask the interviewer yourself. Visit the company's website to help you gain insight into the company's history and provide you with topics of discussion during your interview. Referring to your research during your interview lets the interviewer know you're interested in working for them since you took the time to understand who they are.
5. Conduct practice interviews. Ask your friends or family to conduct mock interviews with you to help you prepare. Have them ask you common and job-specific interview questions. This lets you rehearse how to answer each question and can help you feel more confident on the day of the interview.
Be sure to bring multiple copies in case your interview is with a group of people. It may also be beneficial to bring a notepad and pen to take notes throughout the interview. This can help you remember key points once the interview is over. 7. Prepare common interview questions and answers. During the interview, the hiring manager will ask you both general and job-specific questions. Research online or use the Indeed Career Guide to help you understand common interview questions they might ask. Think about your answer to each question. This can help you answer them with greater ease on the day of the interview. 8. Determine what to ask. At the end of the interview, the hiring manager will ask if you have questions for them. This is a great opportunity to ask them questions related to the role and company. Before your interview, consider what you'd like to ask the interviewer you weren't able to find answers to online. Asking questions is a great way to reiterate your continued interest in the role, too. Here are some questions to consider asking the interviewer:
