Need some help with an interview I am going to

Try to be as concise as possible. A lot of people make the mistake of talking on and on. Think carefully of your answers to specific questions prior to the interview. Don't exceed a 3 minutes on a question and aim to answer a question within 60 seconds.

1. Talk about your education, your relevant work experience and your 5 year goal/plan.

2. Talk about prior accomplishments, your strongest skill sets and your best personality assets.

3. Ask about salary, how soon you expect to hear back about the job decision, and other questions you may have pertaining to the job.

4. On your lap is fine. Offer the interviewer a hard copy of your resume, references, and cover letter upon entering. In most cases, they should already have their own copy (either digital or already printed for the interview), but it shows your preparation.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
