The Lion’s Pride: Interviewing

Be a S.T.A.R.

When interviewing, it's helpful to remember the basics. Once you have the basics, you can be a S.T.A.R.

Smile. This is overlooked, due to nerves. Practice the ingratiating smile you'll wear when first shaking hands with a prospective employer. Keep in mind, though, constantly smiling throughout the interview will make you look like a simpleton dolt. After the initial greetings, instead, flash your winning smile once every few minutes.

Take your time. When talking with the prospective employer, don't speak rapid-fire. This will lead the interviewer to believe you're nervous.

Ask questions. The death knell for any interview is saying "I don't have questions right now, but can I call you?" Having questions at the ready gives the impression you can think on your feet - even if your questions were prepared.

Respect. This is a two way street. Respect the interviewer's time and efforts. Send a thank you note. Use your manners. And, at the same time, if the employer or company seems sketchy, respect yourself enough to gracefully end the interview.

IN THE CARAVAN: Follow the basics and be an interview S.T.A.R.
