- 4. Step 1 Attire Wear a suite! No matter what the dress code for the company. I say again, wear a suit! What to bring? 1) Multiple good copies of your latest resume. 2) A sheet listing your professional references. Prepare a list of professional references that you can give them and that they can contact, just in case they ask you for references. Make sure the people you use as references know that you are looking for a new position and that they might be contacted
- 5. Step 2 Research the organization and the position Learn as much about the company and position you are applying for before you go to the interview. Visit the company’s web site or read company literature. Analyze the job description and try to match your experiences, interests, and abilities to their requirements for the position. Visit the SMU Career Services’ web site at www.smu.edu/career and investigate links related to your particular occupational field.
- 6. Step 3 Know yourself Prepare to discuss your strengths, weaknesses, educational and work experiences, personal goals, and values. Read the job description thoroughly, anticipating questions which focus on your qualifications, their organization, and how the two fit together. Among questions you may be asked are: Tell me about yourself ? What are your goals? Why do you want to work for this company? Why should we hire you?
- 7. Step 4 Make a list of questions to ask them The questions you ask (or do not ask) will reveal much about your level of interest in the company, and your level of preparation for the interview. Ask questions which demonstrate a genuine interest in and knowledge of the company and position. Although each situation will warrant specific inquiries, some suggested questions are: What characteristics do you look for in a person to have success at your company? What are a few of the problems I will be expected to solve?
