Preparing For A Job Interview

Preparing for a job interview is an area that job searchers typically don't do well. In my experience as a recruiter, I have dealt with many people who work really hard to make it to the interview stage and then get lazy.

Trying to wing it during an interview - just showing up and expecting to think of answers off the top of your head - is no way to prepare for a job interview.

Properly preparing for a job interview is what sets successful job searchers apart from less successful ones.

Certainly success in a job interview has little correlation to your ability to actually do the job but the bottom line is that the interview process is what companies use to determine whether or not you are someone they want to hire.
