Just tell 'em you're gonna' show up early, keep your mouth shut, and do what you're told! Works most of the time! (although you may want to elaborate a little more)
Good luck!!

Just be confident in your answers. I interview people and that matters a lot to me.

Good luck.

Look them in the eye when talking, Firm but not a monster handshake (try not to get clammy sweaty hands.)

60/40 rule. Don't do all the talking, let them talk as well. You should still do most of the talking, thus what I call the 60/40 rule.

The reason is simple. Talk to much, you may say something you regret. If they get on a roll and do all the talking, they may not have a good feel for who you are when you leave.

Ask questions. When they get to the part where they say "Do you have any questions", ask something even if they answered any real inquiries you had during the interview. A lot of interviewers/hiring managers take questions as a sign you have a real interest in the company.

Reduce distractions. Do you have a big ring of keys? Ditch it in the car and just keep your car key on you. Put your phone on mute or turn it off completely. Anything that creates noise or odd bulges that you can remove, do so.

Be able to speak to your resume or application. Anything you've submitted that they have on you. I throw a red flag whenever a candidate can't speak to their own resume.

Also, with all the advice out there and information on companies and interview processes, is there really an excuse to show up to an interview unprepared for the most basic questions. "Where do you see yourself in five years?" "What is your greatest strength?" "What is one of your weaknesses?" etc. etc.

Answer honestly and confidently. If you don't know the answer to a question, don't beat around the bush. Either request a moment to think if you believe you can supply a decent answer or just tell them you don't know. Speak with confidence on anything you do know, even if you are not an expert.

Good luck!

That's why I said bulges you CAN remove. Unless there is some kind of upgrade I'm unaware of.

 

[shortround]

What do you know about the company and the job requirements?

How will your life experiences help the company?

What can you do for the company the day you start?

As for the future, that would require a crystal ball. Just tell the interviewer you want to work your way up the ladder step by step while mastering every step along the way.

You have to shovel shit before you can ride the horse.

 

[Rangel]

Thanks for all the advice. I've visually confirmed the location of the interview. And have been practicing for some of the typical questions.

 

[mroper]

Turn off your phone or leave it in the car know about some of the requirements of the position and be able to speak to them

 

[kyletxria1911a1]

Praying for you

Research the company and division (project as well) if you havent already. Figure out what you are going to do/going to offer them that others arent.
