Getting the interview is only half of the battle. How you portray yourself in the interview can make all the difference in whether you land your dream job. We’ve compiled some best practices to help you get one step closer to landing the job.
 
     
   
     
 

So You’ve Landed an Interview...Now What?

It’s a competitive world out there. Even if you’re already a good interviewee, it’s almost always the case that you can at least improve something.

Even though you probably already know most of these tips, a quick reminder never hurts.

 
     
 
KEY ITEMS
Please be sure to visit the client’s website, and at the very least learn some basic information about the company.
It is important to let us handle all salary negotiations on your behalf.
Please remember that we are working on your behalf, and we are all in this together to help you get the best job and the best pay possible.
If the client asks you any pay or salary questions, let the client know that you are comfortable with us handling all salary discussions on your behalf. If they ask again, or try to pressure you into answering, tell them that we have asked you to not to discuss salary with them (in other words, blame us, so that you don’t have to feel like you’re the one being disagreeable with them.)
 
THE PHONE INTERVIEW
Take a surprise call in stride
Beware of over-familiarity (use surname unless invited otherwise)
Allow company representative to do most of the talking
Beware of giving yes/no answers
Speak directly into phone
Take notes
