   Preparation
Before the interview, you should:
Analyse the position for which you are applying. Make sure you understand t
he responsibilities it entails.
Research the Firm. You should have a basic understanding of the Firm’s bus
iness and culture, its history and development and recent trends in the indu
stry.
Prepare to market your skills. You need to review your qualifications and e
xperience in relation to the position for which you are applying. Do a self-
assessment of your skills and interests. Preparing some examples of your exp
erience will help you organise your thoughts when answering the questions.

                       Interview Attire
The way in which you dress for an interview tells the employer a great deal
about your professional awareness and may even be one of the factors taken i
nto consideration when evaluating you as a candidate.
Your ability to "dress the part" is indicative of your knowledge of the indu
stry and interest in "fitting in". In addition, by dressing professionally,
you will appear more mature and seasoned and this will stand you in good ste
ad when competing with older individuals with more experience. It is worth r
emembering that you may dress more formally for the interview than would be
required when you start working for the Firm. However, it is always wise to
check the Firm’s dress code before the interview.
                      The Interview
Be sure to arrive for your interview 10-15 minutes early. This will provide
you with time to check your appearance and collect your thoughts prior to th
e interview.
As you wait for the interview to begin, try to position yourself so that you
have a good view of the hall or reception area from which you expect the in
terviewer to enter. It is preferable to avoid having your back to the interv
iewer when he/she enters the room. When the interviewer greets you, stand an
d offer a firm handshake. Look the interviewer in the eyes and offer a retur
n greeting similar to, "Nice to meet you". If the interviewer mispronounces
your name, clearly state your name as you shake his/her hand.
The only thing that you should be carrying is a portfolio with paper and pen
; leave your coat and book bag (if you are interviewing on campus) in the wa
iting area unless otherwise instructed. For on-site interviews, women may al
so carry a small, professional looking purse. It is always wise to take an a
dditional copy of your resume to an interview.
As you enter the interview room, wait for the interviewer to indicate where
you should sit. The interviewer sitting down is your cue to take a seat your
self. During the interview, remember to practice good nonverbal skills:
sit up straight with your shoulders back and hands resting in your lap
place both feet on the floor
maintain eye contact to demonstrate interest and enthusiasm
use limited hand gestures to emphasise key points
be aware of nervous movements such as tapping your foot or playing with a ri
ng
try to smile when responding to questions (when appropriate); it indicates c
onfidence and enthusiasm
try to relax; you will find that you are better able to respond to questions
if you simply relax a little
                       General Tips
Look the employer in the eye when you are talking.
Speak clearly; don’t mumble.
If you need time to think before answering, take time. Keep to the subject
in hand which is the job and your skills related to it.
Use the interviewer’s name and pronounce it correctly.
Try not to fidget in your seat and otherwise show nervousness with your bod
y (hands, posture, etc.).
Never complain about a former boss or co-worker. You are likely to make the
interviewer think that you are difficult to get along with.
Do not exaggerate; keep to the facts.
An interviewer may be interested in all your experience but will be most in
terested in the skills you have which relate to the job for which you are ap
plying.
Do not be afraid to ask questions if you don’t understand something the in
terviewer has said. You will want to know as much as possible about the job
and asking questions is the best way to find out.
The interviewer will close when he or she has enough information. Do not tr
y to extend the interview unless you have an important point which has not b
een covered, in which case you should cover it as briefly as possible.
                      Answering the Questions
A helpful outline for answering interview questions is provided by the S.T.A
.R. (situation, task, action and result) method. Using this method, you woul
d respond to an interview question with an example of a situation or a task
for which you were responsible. You would then describe briefly and precisel
y the actions you took in this situation or task. Finally, emphasise specifi
c results or accomplishments. Always speak in the first person when describi
ng a situation. Whenever possible, try to articulate the value of the experi
ence in terms of how it has prepared you for the position for which you are
interviewing. Do not be concerned if the interviewer is taking notes during
the interview.
