Ace Your Interview By Wetfeet

You’ve just had your morning coffee when you get the call you’ve been waiting for: Could you come in for an interview next week? You schedule a time, hang up the phone, do a victory dance in your bunny slippers (or boxers) . . . and then what? Hold your breath until the moment of truth next Wednesday? Not if you want to your interview to live up to its promise. Don’t wait for the interview to get to work on impressing your interviewers—begin to prepare right now, so that by next Tuesday night you can enjoy the sound sleep of the confident, capable interviewee. You might be thinking, “I’m already confident; I can wing it.” Maybe that  kind of thinking earned you decent grades back in school, but there is no grading curve in an interview. If  you’re not prepared to shine, chances are someone else will be—and only one of you is going to get the job. INSIDER SCOOP

“For any interview, you need to be prepared to show competence and intelligent interest; confidence will  only get you so far,” says licensed career counselor Rosanne Lurie, author of Killer Cover Letters and  Resumes. “No interviewer wants to waste time on people who just waltz in with no idea of the organization  or industry trends. Their response is, ‘If you haven’t  bothered to take this position seriously, why should I  bother to take you seriously?’”
