Book knowledge and technical skills aside, people hire people they like and trust.
While it is important to "fit in" with a company's culture, know that what you bring is unique. The key when looking for a job is to accentuate your differences and be that person others want to know more about.
Here's some tips for a successful interview:
• Research the individual and/or the company.
• Dress appropriately — professional attire is never wrong.
• Leave overcoats and other unnecessary items in the car.
• Arriving "on time" means 15 minutes early, and make sure cellphones and pagers are turned off
• Walk through the doors as if you already work there, as if the person with whom you are interviewing is already your boss.
• Stand in the reception area with portfolio/briefcase in left hand, leaving right hand free to shake hands.
• Initiate the handshake and make eye contact.
• Ask before assuming first names.
• They are seated first and you should choose the least comfortable chair.
• Body language — sitting, gesturing, fidgeting — are all noticed and judged.
• Bring extra resumes and exchange cards.
• Ask before taking notes.
• Be prepared to tell your "story" including choices you made and how they have led you to the next level.
• Make sure there is nothing out there on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn that you would not want a prospective employer to see.
• Wait for the interviewer to bring up the subject of compensation.
• Discuss accomplishments in a non-boasting way such as, "I was fortunate for the opportunity to..."
• Interview the interviewer, as well.
• If you want the job, ask for it.
• Send an email thank you (after you have determined they are e-culture) and a personal thank you note the same day.
Above all, be yourself. Project a positive attitude and you will attract positive attention and results, whether you want the job or not.
