Interview Tips:
Interview Dos
Interview Don'ts
Interview Dos
Arrive on time or a few minutes early.
If presented with an application, fill it out neatly and
completely. Don't attach your resume unless you're told
to do so.
Greet the interviewer by last name if you are sure of
the pronunciation. If not, ask the employer to repeat
it.
Project energy and enthusiasm. Smile and shake hands
firmly.
Wait until you're offered a chair before sitting. Sit
upright, look alert and interested at all times. Listen
carefully and respond succinctly and articulately.
Look the hiring manager in the eye while speaking.
Early in the meeting, try to get the interviewer to
describe the job and the duties to you so you can focus
your responses on your background, skills and
accomplishments that relate to the position.
Be sincere and truthful while focusing on communicating
your specific professional achievements that relate to
the accounting or finance job opening.
Interview Don'ts
Don't answer with a simple "yes" or "no." Explain
whenever possible.
If you don't understand a question – or need a moment to
think about it - say so. Never pretend to know something
or someone when you don't.
Don't rely on your application or resume to do the
selling for you. Interviewers will want you to be
convincing.
Don't make negative remarks about present or former
employers. When explaining your reasons for leaving,
communicate your rationale professionally.
Don't over-answer questions. If the interviewer steers
the conversation into controversial – or even illegal –
topics, try to do more listening than speaking. Keep
your responses non-committal.
Don't inquire about salary, vacations, benefits, bonuses
or retirement on the initial interview unless you are
sure the employer is interested in hiring you. If the
interviewer asks what salary you want, give a range
based on your research of the job market, but indicate
that you're more interested in the opportunity for
continued learning and professional development than in
a specific salary.
