You did it! You finally landed the interview that you’ve been waiting for. You’re telling loved ones that you got the interview, you’re feeling confident within, and now it’s time to exhale and prepare for success! Below are 6 must do’s before going to your interview:

1. Review your resume – We all have created resumes and sent them out to employers only to browse over it again days later and notice a typo or error. Before going to that successful interview, review your resume for any grammatical errors, phone numbers, email addresses, references etc. You want to make sure that you put your best foot forward even if it leads to handing over an updated resume at the time of your interview.
2. Research the company – There’s nothing more an employer likes than knowing the person they’re interviewing has done their homework and knows a lot about the company. It says a lot about a person and can often lead to “Hired”
3. Time & Location – knowing how long it takes you to get to your destination from your current location is a smart way to prevent lateness and asking for directions. Try driving to the location of the interview a day before your interview, so you will know exactly where to go and how long it will take.
4. Dress Code – Dressing for success gives employers a sense of feeling that you care. Suits seems to be the most suitable attire for an interview, but if you don’t own one, then a nice collared shirt and slacks can do the trick. When choosing colors keep it simple and wear black, navy blue, or gray.
5. Questions – Be prepared to ask questions during your interview process. There’s a lot to say about someone who wants to know more about the company they’re interested in working for. Asking questions like; are there any room for advancements, or how much is the starting pay are fair questions?
6. Sleep and eat – Make sure you get a good-nights rest the day before your interview. The first 5 things should have been completed by this point, and all you have to do is eat a light healthy breakfast in the morning to fuel your brain and energy, and you’re off to a great start. Great luck!
