Top Ten most important Do’s and Don’ts of cracking Corporate Interviews

 
 

* DO your homework. Research the firm online prior to your interview.
* DO a practice answer/question session beforehand and have someone give you feedback.
* DO dress like you care. Wear a business suit, preferably in navy, black or dark gray (no matter how junior or senior you are or how casual the firm is).
* DO ask good questions that reflect your intelligence, knowledge of the firm and commitment to this field.
* DO not be afraid to repeat the same information to each interviewer (do not assume they share the same information with each other).
* DO know your resume and be prepared to articulate 4 key points that summarize what you bring to this position.
* DON'T be late! Try to arrive at least 15 minutes early to the building and allow extra time to go through security and get to the appropriate floor.
* DON'T talk negatively about your past experiences, jobs or employers.
* DON'T be too casual no matter how comfortable you feel with the interviewer.
* DON'T give the interviewer "canned" responses. Try to give specific examples and answer each question as sincerely as you can.
