Interview Process:

• Phone Screen
• In-Person Interview
• Final Interview (often a panel interview)
• Assessment Tool (sometimes)

Research the company: Review the company's website, LinkedIn profile as well as do some light research on google to be able to answer the following questions:

• What does the company do? Can you explain their products or services?
• Who uses their product/service?
• What is the company’s culture, mission, and values?
• What is the current status of the industry they are in? Are things going well? What new advancements have happened that have changed the industry? 

Research the person(s) interviewing you:

• How long have they been at the company?
• What do they do for the company?
• Where did they work in the past?
• Where did they go to college? 
• Where did they grow up?
• Personal information like volunteer work, family, hobbies.

Prepare for commonly asked questions:

• Tell me about yourself
• What do you know about us?
• What are your greatest strengths?
• What are you greatest weaknesses?
• What is your greatest professional/personal achievement?
• Tell me about a time you demonstrated (insert adjective)...
• Why should we hire you?
• What is it about this position/industry that you like?
• Why did you leave your last job?

The #1 rule of interviews:If there is only one thing that you take away from this section it is this: Speak in terms of how you can benefit the employer. Most interviewees simply tell the employer WHAT they did, not WHY what they did is important and how that skill set can help the employer.
