Don’t Have a Sarah Palin Interview – Come Prepared
When you know that you have an interview scheduled the first thing you must do is prepare for it. This means that you have to anticipate the questions that you may be asked and develop answers for them. You must also do your research. You have to know the things that the organization does well in addition to the things that they find challenging. Your goal is to demonstrate how what you bring to the table will help to address their challenges, minimize their risk and if you can make them a profit.
Sarah Palin appears not to have taken this advice in the interview that she had with Katie Couric. I have to thank my sister Shari for send me the following interview segments.
One is a parity of the interview preformed by Saturday Night Live. The other are videos of the actual interview by Ms. Couric.
It is hard to tell the difference between the two and at first I thought it was a joke, but to my surprise two of the three videos are real. The similarities are striking. I provide theses videos for your review as an example of what not to do when you go for an interview. Make sure that you do your research and come prepared to answer the difficult questions, because they might be asked and if they are you want to make sure you do not have a Sarah Palin Interview.

Nice points. Failing to do proper research before an interview is like going to the frontline without your gun.
