Always follow "the four P's of interviewing":
1. Preparation.
2. Practice.
3. Personal presentation.
4. Pertinent questions.
PREPARATION:
It's really frustrating for an interviewer to have someone that they're talking to who really doesn't know the company or the position they're applying for.
Before you interview, you should have looked at the Web site, read the company's brochure, and talked to people who've worked there. If you haven't done that, it can really make it uncomfortable in the interview, because either you're not going to understand what the interviewer's talking about, or you're going to ask some dumb questions.
Another thing is not really preparing for the interview itself. You should sit down and think, ‘What are they going to ask me when I'm in that interview?' With a little bit of asking around, you can find out things like, do they use behavior-based questions, do they use case-based questions, do they use a really unstructured conversational interview?
PRACTICE:
Through preparation, you can often anticipate the kinds of questions -– if not the exact ones -- you'll be asked during interviews. Once you've determined the probable questions, practice in front of someone.
PERSONAL PRESENTATION:
Dress appropriately. Don't show up wearing a coat when a suit would be more fitting. If you do wear the right tie or suit, make sure you are well-presented. Don't be wrinkled or dirty. Doing your homework should reveal the appropriate attire.
Be sure to cover all the standard interviewing etiquette points as well. Be familiar with the basics -- like a good handshake. Make sure to have basic eye contact; a lot of people put a lot of weight into eye contact. Maintaining that is really important.
PERTINENT QUESTIONS:
It's really bad in interviews to get to the end and they say, ‘Do you have any questions I can answer for you?' and you say, ‘Nope, I think you answered them all,' and that's the end of it. It's reflects negatively on you.
Ask a really difficult question -- something that takes some guts to ask, asking really well-thought-out questions that shows you know the business that that interviewer is in. It all goes back to preparation, and it tells the interviewer you thought about this interview before you walked in the door.
