The interview is your opportunity to discuss with your prospective employer why you alone are the best candidate for the available position. Your resume was the ticket that got you in the door.
It is a golden opportunity; remember there must have been something in the resume that caught their eye. What do you think that was? You should spend the time reflecting to determine exactly what it might be. Obtaining a position in your next dream job depends on it.
Once you narrow down why you believe they selected you for an interview practice what you will say. Having a list of potential questions and a prepared response for each will allow you to shine. What’s the big deal about an interview? It is your opportunity to provide an academy award winning performance to your prospective employer, and be asked to return as a finalist. Remember, the goal is to be asked back for a second interview and ultimately be offered the academy award (your next dream job).
