Don’t get nervous. Get prepared! Here are nine steps to take before stepping out of your door: STEP 1. Ask persons who may serve as a ref erence for their assistance. Be sure to approach someone who knows you well enough to demon strate their confidence in you with examples. Sources for references include former teachers, professors, coaches, community leaders, mini sters or employers. Be sure to tell them the type of position you are applying for so that they can focus their comments to reflect what the employer is looking for in making the decision to hire. STEP 2. Learn as much as you can about the prospective employer's business before you in- Amy Edmunds terview. Your local library has many business reference resources. If time per mits, you may also ask the firm's secretary to mail you a brochure highlighting their services and products. STEP 3. Verify date, time and place of your interview. Then, make travel arrangements confirming your mode of transportation, time of departure and travel time. Be sure to take the telephone number of the interviewer with you in case of unexpected delays. Plan to arrive at the interview location 5 to 10 min ute early. STEP 4. Prepare your resume to reflect the specific requirements of the po sition for which you are applying. Plan to take two additional copies of your re sume to the interview. STEP 5. Practice describing your qualifications to emphasize your skills and desire to work. Write out your best answer. STEP 6. Practice the positive things you will say about past experiences with school or employers. Write out your best answer. (Regardless of how un pleasant the previous experience may have been, negative remarks have no place in an interview.) STEP 7. Prepare a list of job-related questions to help you understand the jobs potential and how the job fits into the overall organizational structure of the business. These will be asked in addition to your questions that arise from information gathered during the interview. STEP 8. Plan to take note paper and a pen. Then, use it to make notes as the interviewer defines the responsibilities of the position. These notes will be come your 'cheat sheet' for the questions you will ask later. Also, taking notes imparts to the interviewer your seriousness about the interview and presents you as an organized, prepared applicant. STEP 9. RELAX! Afterall, you're prepared!
