Preparing for an Interview

If there was ever a good time to brag about yourself, the interview is the time to do it. Don\'t be bashful! While you don\'t want to come across as arrogant, you do want to project an image of self-confidence. Your attitude should be, "I have a lot to offer. Let me tell you about myself." Look the interviewer in the eyes as you speak. Smile with your whole face. If you get nervous make sure that you are taking slow, deep breaths.
Preparation will help you relax. Be prepared with the following:

What unique qualities do you have that would bring value to the role?

What are your past accomplishments?

What skills and accomplishments make you uniquely qualified?

Identify key contributions you have made for your current employer.

What are your strongest attributes?

In what areas can you improve? And what have you done to work on improving?

If you are interviewing for a job share position be prepared to answer specific questions about how you plan to provide seamless coverage in your role, i.e. know how/when you will communicate, how you\'ll handle vacations.
