  2. Step 2
     

    Do some research on the employer who you will be interviewing with. Research the position you will be interviewing for and see what the qualifications and requirement are. Compare your education and experience and see how it relates to the position you are interviewing for.

    Do not bad mouth your previous employer or supervisor. Approximately 51% of interviewers don't get the job because they have said negative comments toward the previous employer or supervisor.

  4. Step 4

    Be prepared. Take extra copies of resumes, transcripts, performance evaluations or any other document you think they may ask for.

    Be honest. Do not lie about having experience doing certain things when you know you don't. It will come back to haunt you.
