Job Interviews

There are many ways you can prepare for a job interview.  Here are a few tips that are likely familiar and common sense.  Dress in a professional manner, even if your interview is conducted over the phone or a webcam.  On the other hand, make sure to dress in clothes in which you feel comfortable so you don't seem awkward.  Remember to smile.  A smile communicates friendliness and enthusiasm and makes you a more interested/interesting person.  This is true even for phone interviews.  Most importantly, mentally prepare responses to various questions and be able to deliver those responses in a natural, seemingly unrehearsed manner.

In the next few days MGB hopes to receive sample questions from some of our graduating students.  (Congratulations to all of you!)  Please leave a comment below with any interview advice you may have, especially common questions to expect or even those weird curveball questions that you have been asked.
