Interview Tips - www.indeed.com/career-advice/interviewing/job-interview-tips-how-to-make-a-great-impression
- Practice your answers to common interview questions. Prepare your answer to the common question: “Tell me about yourself, and why are you interested in the cvu summer camp?” The idea is to quickly communicate who you are and what value you will bring to the company and the role—it’s your personal elevator pitch. Review our guide to answering Top Interview Questions.
-
 Recruit a friend to practice answering questions. Actually practicing your answers out loud is an incredibly effective way to prepare. Say them to yourself or ask a friend to help run through questions and answers. You’ll find you gain confidence as you get used to saying the words.
- 
Plan your interview attire the night before.  Be sure to dress in business attire which could be a dress, skirt and shirt, pants and a button down shirt.  If you can find a tie that is great as well all are appropriate for anyone applying.   
- 
Bring copies of your resume, a notebook and pen.  Bring a pen and a small notebook. Prepare to take notes, but not on your smartphone or another electronic device. Write information down so that you can refer to these details in your follow-up thank-you notes. Maintain eye contact as much as possible. For more, visit What to Bring to the Interview.- Plan your schedule so that you can arrive 5–10 minutes early. Being early shows your ability to be on time and sets a good example. 
Tip: When you arrive early, use the extra minutes to observe workplace dynamics.
- Make a great first impression. Don’t forget the little things—shine your shoes, make sure your nails are clean and tidy, and check your clothes for holes, stains, pet hair and loose threads. Display confident body language and a smile throughout.
​-Treat everyone you encounter with respect. Treat everyone you don’t know as though they’re the hiring manager. Even if they aren’t, your potential employer might ask for their feedback.
