​Interviewing Do’s & Don’ts
Do’s
  • Arrive 15 minutes early. Tardiness is never excusable.
  • Clarify questions. Answer the interviewer’s questions as specifically as possible. Relate your skills and background to the position requirements throughout the interview.
  • Be prepared to demonstrate your technical abilities in a manufacturing environment.
  • Give your qualifications. Focus on accomplishments that are most pertinent to the job.
  • Be professional, Smile, make eye contact, and maintain good posture.
  • Anticipate tough questions. Be prepared to turn perceived weaknesses into strengths.
  • Dress appropriately for the environment.
  • Ask questions. An interview should be a mutual exchange of information, not a one-sided conversation.
  • Listen. Concentrate not only on the interviewer’s words, but also on the tone of voice and body language.
 
Don’ts
  • Don’t answer vague questions. Ask the interviewer to clarify.
  • Don’t be disrespectful. Don’t smoke, chew gum or place anything on the interviewer’s desk.
  • Don’t be overly familiar, even if the interviewer is.
  • Don’t wear heavy perfume or cologne. The interviewer may not share your tastes.
  • Don’t ramble. Overlong answers may make you sound apologetic or indecisive.
  • Don’t lie. Answer questions truthfully.
  • Don’t express bitterness. Avoid derogatory remarks about present or former employers.
