The Dos and Don'ts of Idaho Falls Job Interviews


If your resume and cover letter have caught someone’s eye, then it is time to prepare for the interview. This is where you will make the strongest impression, so there’s quite a bit you need to keep in mind when you are interviewing Idaho Falls jobs. Here are some things you should do, and some things you definitely should not do, that will help you land that position.

1. Put in some practice: when you try to improve your three-point basketball shooting, or learn another language, you practice. Why not do so with a job interview? Working on your delivery, anticipating questions, and perfecting your tone can only help. Get some friends to do a mock interview with you. The stress of the job interview is something everyone can relate to, and they’ll be eager to help.

2. Do not interrupt your interviewer: interviewers can do a lot of talking, and what they have to say (particularly regarding the company) can be important and informative. You would do well to listen more than you speak, and you don’t want to come across as rude or desperate.

3. Do ask questions: the question and answer process is a two way street in the job interview. So feel free to ask away; it shows engagement.

4. Don’t lie or exaggerate: honesty is always the best policy in the job interview. If you don’t know an answer to a question, it is always better to admit your ignorance than to make something up on the fly.
