No. 4: Don't Over-Personalize. While understanding
who you are is imperative, it is critical to
understand how you--the individual--will fit into
the overall picture of the company. Understanding
your strengths and weaknesses will help you
professionally. "A lot of students don't understand
what their disabilities are and how it can affect
how they perform on a job," says Muir.
If asked to address some of your accomplishments,
relevance is key. It is also a great way to further
highlight why you are right for the job. Here,
details and variety are important. Include some
community or social programs with which you work,
and use them to show your accomplishments and to
present yourself as a well-rounded applicant.
No. 5: Do Ask Questions. Again, use your research to
show that you are well prepared and ask questions
that show your interest in the company. But do NOT
ask about salary or benefits in the first meeting
unless the interviewer brings them up.
