Interviewing is stressful enough so make it a little easier by creating a checklist of things you don’t want to forget.   Here are some things to put on your list:

  • Turn off all electronic devices BEFORE you enter your interview.
  • Maintain good posture in the waiting room. Remember, how you look when they come to greet you creates their first impression.
  • Throw out your gum before you enter the building.
  • Maintain high energy and enthusiasm.
  • Never be late.
  • Both men and women should always wear a suit on their first interview… unless the company specifically states not to.
  • Bring mints. (You don’t want to be remembered for the wrong thing.)
