A visual guide to interviews

I'm wondering if this could be my last blog entry on interviews - I'm not sure I can top this fantastic infographic from Liz Fosslien. Creative, funny and true!

Get Hired

Interview objective: join the 180°club

What you hopefully did months ago

Because I GUARANTEE this will happen before your interview

What you should do leading up to the interview

What you should bring

The suit

This is not a party

"Fashionably late" does not exist

The handshake

How enthusiastic you should appear

Question Category Overview: What I (the interviewer) am really trying to figure out

Tell me about yourself

What are your strengths

What are your weaknesses?

Your phone

Describe a time you had difficulty working with a coworker

What was your biggest mistake?

Describe your ideal workplace

What do you know about this company?

Why do you want this job?

Do you have any questions for me?

What to remember regarding a thank you email
