Question

Experts will tell you that it is important to prepare for an interview. What type of preparation could and should you do?

Answer 1

It's important to go over what type of questions your interviewer might ask you. You can think of and prepare your answers ahead of time so you'll already have an idea of what you'll say. You'll feel more confident and appear more informed and prepared. You can also practice the way your posture should look and the way you want to carry yourself during the interview. It's like preparing for a test. You study the answers and practice answering test questions.

Answer 2

Think of a job interview as an "audition" - your opportunity to impress the employer with your work ethic and skills. Your network and/or your resume got you this interview.

Many employers have shared with me how that one thing - being obviously well-prepared can make or break a job seeker's chances at a landing a new job. Being prepared for the job interview demonstrates to the employer that the job seeker is genuinely interested in the job. And, that preparation is often viewed by the employer as an example of the job seeker's work.
