Or even when you run into someone who is in a position to hire you in a bid to leave them knowing more about you.

This mantra doesn\u2019t just apply to sports, it applies to interviews, too! If you\u2019ve never had an interview before, your first one probably isn\u2019t going to go very well if you don\u2019t prepare in advance. To avoid that, practice interviewing with professional groups, friends, and family members.<\/p>\n<p>Do all of your research on the company ahead of time. Have some idea of not only the position itself, but also the company\u2019s culture and mission statement. Be sure to brush up on projects the company has done recently to sprinkle into the conversation.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.expresspros.com\/movinonup\/2018\/04\/asking-relevant-questions-after-an-interview.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ask Relevant Questions After the Interview<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>After an interview ends, you\u2019re almost always asked if you have any questions. And your answer should always be yes. Asking questions shows you\u2019re interested in the company. You can ask for more information about the job, something specific about the company culture, a question aimed at your interviewer, or something about the recent history of the company. Remember to always ask about next steps! That way you won\u2019t have to worry about whether or not they\u2019ll email you back.<\/p>\n<h6>Original Article <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.expresspros.com\/movinonup\/2018\/07\/national-interview-day-is-next-week-prepare-with-our-top-tips.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here<\/a><\/h6>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Are your interview skills up to the task?
