   Hi,
   Congratulations on your upcoming interview. Below are the basics of interview preparation. There is a lot that goes into it, so I suggest reviewing the resource information I’ve provided at the end.
   
   The interview process is one in which you present your qualifications and interest in a position and an opportunity for you to decide if the company is a good place for you to work. The interviewer is interested in 3 things: can you do the work, do you want to do the work, and will you fit in to the company’s culture.
   
   Interviewers also expect candidates to respond to questions with examples of when they have successfully used a skill or displayed a competency and link that to the potential employer’s environment. For example, the employer might be having trouble keeping projects running smoothly and finishing on time within budget. When have you encountered a similar issue? What was going on? How did you handle it? What was the outcome of your efforts?
   
   There are several things you can do to prepare for your upcoming interview. First, research the company so you can become familiar with its products, services, customers, and competitors.
   
   Second, learn all you can about the position for which you are interviewing. Based on that research, experience and knowledge of the position, what are the key responsibilities and qualifications sought? In what circumstances have you successfully carried out those responsibilities and in what ways you meet those qualifications? Generate accomplishment statements to address those two components. What 5 qualities (at least) do you possess that make you the most qualified person for this job?
   
   Third, practice your responses to interview questions. Have a friend or family member role-play with you. It’s important that, in advance, you’ve thought about how you will respond to certain questions and have practiced saying them out loud. You can make sure that you are getting your thoughts across clearly and concisely.
   
   Finally, you will likely have an opportunity to ask questions. This will be your chance to find out information about the company culture and clarify your understanding of the position and your role. You want to be prepared with questions to ask, so you can get good information for decision-making.
   
   A good interview prep resource is the Adams Job Interview Almanac that you can probably check out at a local library. It contains sample interview questions on numerous jobs.

   With this preparation, you should feel confident about your chances.
   
   Good luck!
