Above, I mentioned wearing a suit or skirt when going on a
job interview. But that’s not all you should do in preparing
for one. Here are some more tips for preparing for your job
interview.
1. Do your homework. Research the company and make
sure you know everything you can about them from A
to Z. This will GREATLY impress the person who is
interviewing you.
2. Know where you’re going. In other words, you do NOT
want to be late for this interview. So before you go,
get a map and map out your route. Take a practice
ride there to make sure you don’t get lost and make a
note of how long it took to get their with NO traffic. If
you’re going during rush hour, add some time on to
your trip.
3. Rehearse beforehand. Go over some typical questions
that you might be asked and answer them. Have
somebody give you a mock interview if you can find a
person to help you. You want to know WHAT you’re
going to say BEFORE you actually get to the interview.
4. Make sure you get references from everybody you can,
including the school you took your exam and any
interning that you did. A reference saying that you
were willing to work for free to get experience will go a
long way.
5. Arrive early. Don’t walk into your interview at the last
minute and don’t, under any circumstances arrive late.
This practically screams, “I don’t want the job.” Also,
arriving early gives you a chance to relax before you
actually go inside.
6. Bring all documentation. That means, bring your
resume, certification, references, whatever you need
in order to present to the interviewer. Also, remember
to bring all your other info like SS # and any other
documents you might need to fill out the application
form.
7. Sell yourself. In other words, have confidence. Believe
in yourself. If you don’t believe in your ability, nobody
else will. Also, there is a big difference between
confidence and cockiness. The latter is NOT going to
get you a job. Remember that.
8. Ask questions. Show the interviewer that you’re really
interested in getting this job. The more questions you
ask, especially about the job itself, the more interested
you will seem.
9. Don’t talk money. Do NOT under any circumstances
ask what the job pays. If the interviewer is interested
in hiring you, they’ll tell you what the salary is. Don’t
make it about money. Make it about the opportunity.
10.Follow up afterwards. Don’t just assume they will get
back to you. Follow up. Send a handwritten note
saying what a pleasure it was to speak with the
interviewer and how impressed you were with the
company and how you’re looking forward to hearing
back from them.
These few simple tips will go a long way to securing that job.

If you don’t get practice exams and training that is worth its
salt, you have very little chance against certified coders.

you for this career.
