Tips for a successful interview

1. Express Yourself Clearly -- You must be able to tell an employer about yourself. You need to know your key aspects and be able to identify them in a clear and precise way.
2. Write it Down and Practice -- Answer the 'What an employer may ask' section and write it down. Then, practice by reading out loud. The more you practice, the more confident you will become.
3. Role Play -- Look and act the part of a successful and self-confident individual even if you don't particularly feel that way. Work with a friend to help organize, plan, and review your answers. Don't forget to be CLEAR and PRECISE.
4. Research -- Know the company you have the interview with!
