Practice Interviewing

member ahead of time and ask for feedbacks
in a more casual environment

Decide What to Do With Your Hair
• Hairstyle and makeup is as important as the
interview style.

What to Bring to a Job Interview
• Follow up a job interview with a thank you note
reiterating your interest in the job. • Consider your thank you letter a follow-up "sales" letters. Restate why you want the job, what your qualifications are, how you might make significant contributions, and so on. • This thank you letter is also the perfect opportunity to discuss anything of importance that your interviewer neglected to ask or that you neglected to answer as thoroughly, or as well, as you would have liked.
