Question: 
 
How can I best prepare for an interview? 
 
Answer: 
 
The vast majority of employers make their hiring decision based on 
the interview. So how do you put your best foot forward? 
 
There are four things that I would recommend you think about before 
you go into the interview.  
 
1. Know the company or know the organization that you’re going to be 
interviewing with. Use the advantage of their website. Learn as 
much as you can about them and what drives them, so that you go 
in as somebody who is informed. This will impress them that you’re 
good at preparation. 
 
2. Know yourself. Know what it is you do best. Understand what your 
past experiences bring to their organization that will help you 
succeed in this new job, and understand what you’re passionate 
about, and how this fits into this particular job that you’re 
considering. 
 
3. Think win-win. Think about mutually beneficial relationships 
between you and the employer— and that means you should have 
very good questions about how you can make the greatest 
contribution for them, and very well thought out questions about 
what you think is the ideal job. 
 
 
4. Bring stories with you. What I mean by that is, bring stories of what 
you have done in the past that have a comparison to the job you’re 
interviewing for— because they don’t want to hear you say that 
you’re dedicated, you’re going to be serious, and that you’re going 
to be to work on time. What they want to hear is, “What have you 
done in the past that is going to make me feel better about making 
this decision to bring you into my company today?”
