• Interview Tip 1
  Plan ahead – do a little homework! Research the company, the position, and the interview panel. Review your resume and work experiences and be prepared to walk through your job history with the employer. Be prepared with specific examples that highlight your career accomplishments and achievements.
• Interview Tip 2
  Role play – once you have finished studying and researching, role play with a friend or family member…or your recruiter! Use the general questions provided in the Interview Preparation Area. Write down answers if it helps to make your presentation more concise. Try to limit your answers only to the information that the employer wants to know.
