The Sounds of Advice #74: Job Interview Advice

What advice would you give someone before going to a job interview?

Sandy: Dress nice, but not over the top (unless the job requires it), be yourself (if you are a caring person) make sure you show them that. They want to see these things. Be aware of things you need to work on for yourself. Maybe if you can explain how this job will help you work on sale things. Good luck!!

Sid: Do you best, be honest and attentive. 

Aisling: 1. Pick out your outfit the night before, even your shoes.
2. Before the interview do something that helps calm your nerves such as go for a short walk, listen to music.
3. Get plenty of sleep the night before.
4. Don't be afraid to ask questions during the interview.
5. Just be yourself.

Kate: Be confident, even if you aren't on the inside. Accentuate your strengths. Try to turn your weaknesses into positives.
