This is it, do or die, survival of the fittest. Afraid you're going to blow it? Relax. Here are some fail-safe tactics that'll shoot you to the top of anybody's short list. Step 1: Do your research Do your research. Pour over the company's website, search for relevant news items about it and its major competitors, and catch up on the latest developments in your field. Tip Look for connections between the company's needs and your skills. Be prepared to discuss how your accomplishments complement the company's goals. Step 2: Arrive early Arrive a few minutes early. At the very least, be right on time. Never arrive late for a job interview—that's just lame. Step 3: Dress the part Dress the part to give the visual impression that you belong. Not every interview requires a coat and tie, but you should always look neat and professional. Step 4: Make nice Make nice with any employees you meet while waiting, and always be nice to the receptionist—she's the eyes and ears of the company. Step 5: Greet w/ firm handshake Greet your interviewer with a firm, dry handshake. Don't give just a limp finger grab, don't go overboard and crush their hand, and don't try anything funny or clever. Step 6: Bring updated resume Make sure your resume and list of references are up to date, and bring extra copies of both. Step 7: Listen & ask questions Listen as much as you talk. Keep your answers on point, and don't forget to ask questions as well as answer them. Tip Did you quit your last job to play poker for a year? If so, be ready to explain why—you will be asked. Step 8: Be positive Put a positive spin on everything. Everyone wants to hire a team player, so resist the urge to complain about another job or badmouth a former employer. Step 9: Don't exaggerate skills Don't exaggerate your skills or your knowledge. Be straight about what you do and don't know, and offer to learn more if you get the job. Tip Let your personality show, but save the theatrics for when you're hanging out with your friends. Step 10: Use proper body language Smile, nod, and maintain eye contact. The proper body language conveys interest and engagement. NO SLOUCHING! Step 11: Ask about process Before you leave, ask about the next step in the process and the overall timeline for filling the position. Step 12: Thank everyone Don't forget to thank everyone on the way out. When you get home, mail a handwritten note to each person you spoke with. Did You Know? Interviewers at Microsoft often asked job applicants why manhole covers are round, just to test how well they thought on their feet.
