Five Things to Remember in a First Interview
Contract Specialist - (City withheld for privacy), Texas, United States
1. Be glad to be there. A realistically positive attitude will cast you as a welcome addition to any group.

2. Keep eye contact with your interviewer(s). If you appear distracted or somewhat disinterested, all of your credentials won't matter much.

3. Stay relaxed and flexible. When that tricky question comes, if you're comfortable, turn it into a positive response with you as the hero.

4. Follow up on the interviewer's questions occasionally. It'll show you're totally in the game.

5. If this really sounds like your dream job, towards the end of the interview, tell him/her that you "want this job". Determination and self-direction are always remembered after you've left the room.
