Know how to deliver a killer interview? Here are a few sure-fire tips to follow:
1. Clear your schedule: Few things are more important than your job -- keep your schedule free of any other commitments.
That way you're clear both to show up early, or stay later if your interview runs longer (and avoid the awkward situation of saying you have to be somewhere else and have to leave).
2. Find out how to pronounce your interviewer's name -- in advance: A simple call to the receptionist should do it. Names like "Smith" or "Jones" are too few in between, so when in doubt, check it out. Nothing impresses an employer less than messing up his or her name.
3. Shut off that cell phone!: We can't stress this one enough -- nothing says "I've got something better to do" than a ringing cell. Your calls can wait, your employment opportunity won't.
Happy Job Hunting!
