2. -Think about why you can do the job and make a list of your skills that are relative to the job.
3. -Identify experiences or accomplishments that show your proficiency in the skills required for the job.
4. -Summarize your abilities, accomplishments and skills into a brief, concise document.

1. -Anticipate -Put yourself in the interviewer's position. What do you believe the interviewer is most interested in? Why do you think you have been invited to interview?
2. -Research -What are the primary functions of the line of business? What are the success factors for the job? Is there a job description available?
3. -Assess -Think about your skills, abilities, knowledge, interests, traits, values and accomplishments. Match them to what you know about the job. Consider which ones you should highlight.
4. -Prepare Answers -Think about what the interviewer may ask, determine what the best answer is and write it down.
5. -Prepare Questions - Interviewing is a two-way street. By asking thoughtful questions, you communicate your interest and learn a lot about the job. Choose two or three questions to ask your interviewer. Avoid asking a lot of questions about vacation time or breaks.
6. -Practice - It may seem awkward, but it is the best way to come across well in an interview. Practice your own "great responses" with others or in front of a mirror until you appear relaxed and at ease.
7. -Follow-up - Send a brief follow-up letter to the interviewer. Keep in mind that the many job searchers will not send a follow-up letter. Sending one can become a competitive advantage.
