Christina’s Answer

This response could differ depending on what industry you work in and what level you're at in your career so I'll attempt to provide generic responses:

1-Analyze the job description closely to determine if you meet the basic requirements.
2-Perform a Google search of appropriate interview questions and practice answering them until comfortable.
3-Review the company website familiarizing yourself with their Mission, Vision & Core Values.
4-Be prepared to explain why you're interested in working for them if the interviewer asks.
5-Prepare a list of relevant questions to ask your interviewer.
6-Arrive early
7-Appear neat & pressed in conservative colors (refrain from wearing perfumes/scented lotions as your interviewer may have allergies).
8-Bring multiple resume copies.
9-Be polite/friendly to each person that you come into contact with as these people may be asked about their interaction with you.
10-Follow-up with a "thank you" note or email, if possible.

Kacie’s Answer

In preparing for the interview, you should make sure your resume is up-to-date, and that you are able to translate how your current skills and experience align with the job role and responsibilities you are applying for. It is especially important to do extensive research ahead of time around the company, the people you are meeting with (LinkedIn), having questions lined up to ask the interviewer, being prepared with specific examples of how you did in addition to what you did, and what you learned from in.

You definitely want to be your authentic self, and show the interviewer your personality, including that you are confident in your ability, and ready to roll up your sleeves to get the job done. One tip that can be useful at the end is to ask the interviewer for feedback about how the interview went, and also if there are specific qualities they are looking for in a competitive candidate, as well as what the next steps are, timeline and process for filling the position.

Kacie recommends the following next steps:

Mock interviews and practice in advance of the interview - record yourself to be mindful of body language and presentation in addition to the content you plan to speak to.
Professionalism is key - in what you wear, if virtual a simple background and quiet space
