Dress the Part

Make sure to double check the location of your interview. Often companies hold interviews in both the TNRB and the WSC at the same time. Arrive at least 15 minutes prior to your scheduled time to allow for check in procedures. Make sure to bring with you a copy of your resume and any other documents requested by the employer.Be Courteous and Friendly
Remember to thank the interviewer for the opportunity and be courteous in your discussion. Be sensitive of the time so you do not ask so many questions time is taken from their break or interviews with other candidates.Ask for their business card and promptly send a thank you note. This can be done by either e-mail or a hand-written note in the mail. A thank you should be sent within 24 hours of the interview.
Be Prepared
Make sure you have completed your research and are ready to talk about the employer confidently. Utilize career center resources such as InterviewStream and mock interviews to hone your skills before the big day.Ask Questions
Often you are judged more by the questions you ask than the answers you give. Have a list of quality questions prepared before your interview. When you are asked if you have any questions make sure to ask at least several. This is your opportunity to showcase your understanding of the company and depth as a candidate.
