Before an interview, you should:

➔ Practice

Preparation

Know the company

➔ Make sure that you research the company so that you can ask and answer

questions intelligently.

➔ There are a variety of ways to research on the company such as using a library,

collecting the company’s literature and annual reports, using electronic sources

of information (internet), interviewing an employee of the company.


➔ You should become familiar with the organization’s products, structure, services,

financial status, competitors, reputation and any recent major changes.

Know Yourself

Ask yourself these questions: What particular strengths make you different? What

makes you unique? What can you give to the workplace? Elicit honest answers, do not

deceive yourself.

Practice
➔ Go through the answers to possible interview questions a few times before the

actual day.

➔ If possible, arrange a mock interview with a friend or family member acting as

the interviewer.
