Have you ever left a job interview thinking “I wish I would have said that” or “I wish I would have been more prepared”? Do your homework before an interview. Spend time researching the company and show your knowledge about the company when answering questions. In a survey taken by 2000 bosses, 47% responded that the most common interview mistake job seekers make during an interview is having little or no knowledge about the company[1].

It is inevitable that your interviewer will ask, “Do you have any questions?” Not asking questions shows a lack of interest and preparation. Come prepared with questions to ask. Remember an interview is a two-way street. It is important to make sure that the company is one that you would like to work for. The more prepared you are for an interview, the less nervous you will be. Confidence speaks volumes to a potential employer.
