Zac L's Trademarked Interview Tips!


A job interview is something almost everyone in their life has to deal with. Therefore it is crucially important that you are as prepared as possible for when the time comes. There are countless tips available for preparing for an interview but I have compiled what I think are the most vital for success.

1. The first and what I believe is most important is your first impression. The best way to make the best first impression is to “dress to impress”. Looking professional is always appropriate. Being on time is also included in making a good impression!

2. Before the interview, it is important that you practice what you’re going to say and answer sample questions that you could be asked.( Creating a mock interview with a friend can be very helpful)

3. You should gather as much information about the job as possible. Being prepared gives you an extremely higher chance of getting hired!

4. During the interview, you should make sure and maintain proper etiquette. This will help with your professionalism.

5. Lastly, when your interview is complete, you should prepare a thank you note. Make sure you let the interviewer know how pleased you were to have the chance to interview with him or her.( This is the most commonly forgot protocol for an interview)

All of these tips encompass what I like to call the 3 P’s: Being prepared, professional, and polite!
