Job Interview Advice

The most important advice that we can give you is 1) DO YOUR HOMEWORK -- find out as much as you can about the firm and the position you are interviewing for, and 2) BE YOUR PROFESSIONAL SELF IN INTERVIEWS. Remember that this is also an opportunity for you to evaluate the "fit" of this job for you. The recruiter on the other side of that table is a human being who has been in your shoes - talk to her/him - get to know them, ask their opinion and advice...make it a two way conversation.  Find out as much as you can about the organization and this job.  When you leave an interview, you should feel like you did your best to get to know the company, the position and the recruiter.
