A note on ethics

1. Dress conservatively. Hopefully you will have learned enough about the company to know what is appropriate to wear, but when in doubt, overdress.
2. Be prepared to meet good and bad interviewers. Some interviewers will seem aggressive, prejudiced, one-sided, stressful, inattentive or unprepared; others will be top-notch professionals.
3. Be punctual. Arrive a few minutes early to give yourself time to freshen up. If an emergency comes up that will result in tardiness or even absence, call Career Services at 378-4859 if it is an on-campus interview. For off-campus interviews, contact the company immediately to inform the interviewer of your situation. There is nothing worse than an unexplained no-show.
4. Make a good first impression. A firm handshake, eye contact, and a gracious greeting are good starters. Do not be seated until invited to do so. Sit up squarely and comfortably. Think about the message your body language is conveying.
5. Answer questions carefully. In other words, think before you speak. Provide a well-formulated, concise answer (less than two minutes). Be honest. Accentuate the positive and elaborate on the areas in which you are especially knowledgeable. Never volunteer negative information about yourself, another person, or the company. If you are asked about your weaknesses, give just one and make it something that will not affect your performance in the job for which you are applying.
6. Pay attention and maintain good eye contact. Let the interviewer finish questions uninterrupted. Give him or her your full attention. Don't ask questions that have already been answered. Take note of key phrases the interviewer uses and incorporate them in your answers. Most important, listen well.
7. Remain professional at all times. Everything you say and do should be centered on why you are the most qualified candidate for the position. Don't try to "buddy" the interviewer. Everything you say and do is being noted by the interviewer and will be considered when the final decision is made.
8. Ask insightful questions. Show your interest and enthusiasm by asking sincere questions.
9. Say thank you. Follow up with a letter expressing your appreciation and also mentioning any vital information you may have left out. If you don't hear from the interviewer by the time you both agreed on, follow-up with a phone call to see where things stand.
