If you're new to the job market or need a refresher when it comes to a job interview -- Daniela Toporek, staff writer at interviewingU wrote a great piece that breaks down the essentials of how to shine on a job interview. You know, you work so hard to get noticed and your resume makes it to the top of the pile and the phone screen was a breeze -- but that in-person interview can be a little tricky for some...well, up until now.
"Your palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy. There's vomit on his sweater already, mom's spaghetti." Eminem was talking about rap battles in his verse, but I'm sure the same applied to us all when we went in for our first job interview (hopefully not the part of regurgitating your meal). After my share of interviews, I've come up with the three key components to help you score that job!
1. Come Prepared!
Depending on the job, you could either have a one on one interview with your potential employer or you could have a group interview among other applicants. Either way, the best way to outshine the rest is to be prepared for anything they may throw at you.
