The first step in this process is to research the company, and the position we are applying for. Most companies in today 's world have a mission statement that outlines their business structure, priorities, and goals.

Dropping hints at the interview that we concern about animal rights will impress your panel of interviewers. Another way to improve our knowledge about the company is to read over the company 's annual report and organizational structure.

Play on your strengths and translatable skills to show how you could be a potential asset to the company and the job you are interviewing for. Show the interviewer you are ready and willing to try your very best at the job at hand. Always keep your answers short, simple and honest, because making them long, confusing and made up is the worst thing you can do if the interviewer catches you in a lie with specific questions regarding your answer. Don’t try to be over smart, instead present yourself as a confident, sensible, and hard working. Don’t ever use slang words, clichés or criticize a former employer or employees during the interview, because this shows that you could be doing the same thing to them if you don’t get the job or after you might leave the job later. This shows that they can trust you to keep business details within the company, and not outside of it that can give the company a bad name. Posture and having a sense of humor and a smile on your face are good to have during the interview process because it shows that you are ready and happy for the opportunity, and enjoy the company. It is good to have your cheat sheet ready for specific STAR questions that could be asked, and at a glance you can bring up past experiences that can be used rather than trying to figure out an experience or don’t have one at all and unable to answer the question. It’s good to try not to sound like you rehearsed
