Find out about strengths and weaknesses in a job interview

Practicing your responses and getting fully organized are useful tips for job interviews. If, like many people, you have a tendency to be nervous, a simple way to reduce the jitters is to practice answering common questions. You'll find a list of interview questions at this link.

Rehearse both the content of your answers to interviewers' questions as well as your delivery. That means make sure you modulate your voice well, keep it pleasant and upbeat, don't speak too softly or too loudly. And keep your responses to the point, without sacrificing detail. If you have habits like using your hands too much, get that under control as well.

To help you get organized for the interview, prepare a checklist of everything you need well in advance. And use that checklist to ensure that everything is ready the day before the interview. Take along a few extra copies of your resume. Bring along a note pad. And definitely carry your business cards. This last idea is quite important and helps convey a professional image.
