1. Be careful what you wear to an interview. You should just wear a suit, it is always the right thing to wear. Dark navy blue or black is the color of choice, along with a white shirt and dress shoes. You will look perfect!
2. Looking like a slut on your interview is not a good idea. You should have a shirt that covers your collarbone, pants that are loose, and a relatively long skirt. Make sure your hair looks nice and conservative and that your jewelry isn’t too showy.
3. Always call your potential employer by Mr. or Mrs., not their first name. It might offend them if you call them their first name before they allow you to.
4. Don’t bother dressing up if you are in the entertainment industry, they’re casual all the time unless they’re chilling with tv executives and big wigs.
5. Have some extra resumes on you when you go to the interview. Supposedly the employer has already read it, but never take that for granted.
6. Wipe your hands before you shake, because it’s gross to shake with sweaty hands. To sweat is to show anxiety.
7. Making eye contact is important because you appear confident when you do so.
8. Make sure your boss knows that you will do anything to get this job, such as coming in at all hours, doing anything they want, or making a deal with the devil. Otherwise, you will not be accepted for the job.
9. Prepare some questions for your employer so when he asks you if you have any, you sound well prepared.
10. Your employer is always right. Even if he is wrong.
11. Compile a list of compliments you can unload upon the boss, such as how great the view is, how much money he makes, or how pretty his receptionist is.
12. When leaving, shake hands, and thank the boss, and make sure to ask when they will be making a decision.
13. You will look great if you call later and thank them for the interview in your follow up call.
14. Having a follow up call a few days later is a good thing because if there are a lot of candidates, you will stand out as a proactive person and a go getter. Your employer will be more inclined to pick you for these qualities.
