Today, most first interviews are done electronically. Sometimes second and third too, especially if long distance is a factor.
Always be ready ahead of time. Most of the time there is a particular time set and so be sure to be in your place with 10-20 minutes to spare.
Have something to write on in case the interviewer wants to give you someone’s name or address to follow up.
Be dressed professionally from head to toe. You have heard the horror story of an interviewer asking the person to get another item or an address and suddenly seeing a pajama bottom popping out of the chair!
Always speak clearly and look eye to eye. It may not seem that the person is looking directly at you, but be sure that you make every effort to do so.
Never look at your watch. YOU ARE NOT IN A HURRY. You must have as much time available as it takes. Sometimes, the interviewer will want an hour and sometimes 5 minutes. This might just be the moment that the company is sorting out potential candidates and does not need more than 5-10 minutes. You want to be one of the candidates they select to continue with and so you should never be in a rush.
You might ask the interviewer at the end of the interview if there is anything more that he/she would like to know about you and your background.
Always thank the person regardless of how you feel the meeting went.
