Interview Tips
The interview is possibly the most significant 30 to 60 minutes you'll spend in determining your first job.
Yet, despite the importance of interviews, most people don't spend much time preparing for them. Interviewees may be so nervous that any thoughts of preparation are blocked. In other cases, they think they speak well and "whatever happens, happens." Both attitudes lead to poor results. Just as in learning any skill—from making a speech to serving a tennis ball—successful interviewing requires learning what to do and then practicing.
