The interview consists of three distinct steps:

 

        Establish rapport; no one will hire or want to work with someone unless a comfort level is established.

 

        1. Gather information; you personally will have to take responsibility to conduct research about the job and what questions they may ask.

       2. Sell yourself; reiterate your interest in the position, answer questions with confidence, and then close by asking for the job.

You must ask at least one question to the interviewer:

 

Can you tell me about the position and the type of person and core competencies you are seeking?

 

or…

 

What bench marks are you using to evaluate candidates for this position?
