I posted this in June 2012. As I continue to work with experienced professionals, the same issues continue to come up. When I hear the same thing over 10 times I feel it is time to re-post and re-state.

An interview is a determination, or test, by a prospective employer of your ability to contribute to their success. As with any test, it follows that the better prepared you are, the better you will do. Take the time to make a list of your accomplishments, goals, qualifications, philosophies, likes and dislikes, and anything else you can think of that may be relevant to the position.Be prepared to answer questions like:"Tell me a little about yourself.""What do you feel you can add to our company?""Why are you looking?""What do you know about our company?""What are your major strengths/weaknesses?""What are your long-term career goals?"You did look at the company website, right???More interview prep info.I have a LOT of recruiters in my LinkedIn network.
