Practice Interviewing
Before every interview, practice, practice, practice. First, answer each question
by writing down talking points. Next, practice with a buddy or coach who asks
the questions, and you answer with your workbook and talking points. Finally,
you answer the questions without your workbook and talking points. Make sure
to include relevant STAR stories.
Questions, Tips and Talking Points
1. Tell me about yourself.
Share your value statements, as well as relevant education, experiences, expertise and
accomplishments. Because you researched the employer, job and interviewer, mention
common background and interests. Talk no more than a minute or two.
2. Why do you want to work for us?
Focus on their needs and how you can meet them. Emphasize what you do and like
best. Be positive. Convey an “I can do” attitude.
