The company is considering hiring YOU, so you are the
product that they are thinking about buying. You must
sell yourself to them. When you prepare for the interview,
make sure you have a mental list of your most important
skills and accomplishments. You can’t depend on
the interviewer to ask you all the perfect questions to
learn about your skills, so you may have to segue from
questions asked in order to touch upon your most relevant
skills.
Be Energetic and Sincere
Sit up straight, make eye contact, and speak sincerely about your interest in the position.
Listen to the interviewer
Don’t do all the talking. Do some listening too. Be careful to answer the questions the interview asks you.

Interview
- Do you have any questions or concerns about my experience or skills for this job?
