Articles

After reading the two articles about seeking jobs and interviews (http://hotjobs.yahoo.com/interview/Is_It_a_Fit__20060908-121225.html?subtopic=Interview+Preparation and http://hotjobs.yahoo.com/interview/A_Crash_Course_in_Interview_Preparation__20021018-1229.html?subtopic=Interview+Preparation) I have gained some good insight into how to go about an interview. Most importantly (as with many other things in life) one should prepare for an interview. It is often difficult to walk into a situation unprepared and perform as well as you would had you taken the time to prepare beforehand. Obviously it helps to prepare a few days before your interview so that you will perform better. The other thing I learned is not always made clear. As much as a company is interviewing you, you are also interviewing the company. You can prepare questions to ask of your interviewer to find out more about the company. In a way, you are selling them your services. If they decide they want your services it is up to you to decide whether or not you wish to give them to a company. These articles will help me to prepare for my interview. I will practice for the interview beforehand and come up with a few questions so that I may interview the company.
