Thoroughly review your resume and know everything that it includes. Don’t get caught by surprise by an interviewer’s question about something that you forgot was there.
Prepare Your References
Prepare an updated list of professional references, including past managers and supervisors, and have it ready for your interview. Make sure you have secured permission from each reference.
Research Your Interviewer
Research their background through professional sites such as Google or LinkedIn (not Facebook) to find common professional connections such as education, work history or coworkers.
Learn About Your Potential New Employer
Research the company. Thoroughly review their website. Understand where they fit in their industry or market sector. What engineering challenges might they be facing?
Using the requirements and skills listed in the employer’s job description as your guide, plan some key talking points and relevant examples to use during the interview.
Plan Your Answers to Common Interview Questions
Be ready for common interview questions by planning and practicing your answers in advance.
Dress Professionally
Men should wear a suit, or at the very least a suit jacket and tie with trousers. Women should wear a suit, conservative dress, or blouse/sweater and trousers.
10 minutes before is enough time to reach before the interview. If you arrive too early, it's always a good idea to review your resume or company website one last time while waiting in your car or in the lower lobby if it's a high-rise building.
