Interview
An interview is a conversation - a mutual exchange of information. The interviewer will try to find out if you are a good fit for the position, and you will promote your skills and experience to show that you are a good fit. You will also get to ask the interviewer questions.
Use the interview to:
- Learn more about the position and the organization.
- Provide information that will highlight your accomplishments, expanding upon your resume and cover letter.
- Make the interviewer see you as an asset to the organization.
- Get a follow up interview and get hired!
