Congratulations, you’ve landed an interview for a position you’d love. You’re eager to make a good impression. You hope to be offered the job. To get the result you want, be sure to ask questions––during the interview. Plan ahead. Think about what you’d like to know. Then jot down a list of questions on those topics. Here are some examples:

1. May I give you an example of something I believe I can to bring to your company if given the opportunity to fill this position?
2. What are the main qualifications you’re looking for in the person you’ll chose to hire?
3. When do you expect to hire a person for this job?

Once the interview is over, wrap up your time with a friendly closure.

1. Express your thanks.
2. Exchange business cards.
3. Offer to provide more information, if needed.
4. Look the hiring manager in the eye and shake hands firmly.
5. Ask for the opportunity to fill this position.
6. Follow up with a written thank you note.

Be clear. Be calm. Be courteous. The more professional and prepared you are when you go into an interview, the greater your chance of achieving your goal––a job offer!
