Before the Interview: • Confirm the date, time, location, and name of the person you should ask for when you arrive. • Allow plenty of time to get to the interview site and arrive at least 10 minutes early. • Make any necessary travel arrangements. If traveling out of the area, ask whether the company will make reservations for you. • Keep any receipts. Some medium and large sized companies may help with expenses. • Try to find out in advance what the agenda will be and with whom you will be interviewing. • Have ready extra copies of your resume, transcripts, references, and all employer forms that you have been asked to complete. • Come up with at least five questions to ask the employer; see p. 36 for sample questions. • Alert references that they may be contacted.
