If you are anything like me you hate job interviewing. After recently grading college I join my fellow classmates and thousands of other college graduates in the search for the perfect job. I can proudly say that happen hundreds of applications and tons of interviewing I finally received a great job. I have many friends who ask me questions about the interview process, therefore I wanted to pass along my wisdom onto you. Here are my top seven things to nail that job interview and start your career.

1. Research the Company

You must research the company goes onto the website, social media pages, and Glassdoor. Find out what the companies values and goals. You hat to show the interviewer that you are passion about the company. This step can also help you by seeing if this company is right it for you. Life is too short not to enjoy what you do.

2. Dress Professional

This may seem like a no-brainer,b ut you would be amazed at how many people I have seen NOT dress professional for an interview. Here's quick what NOT TO WEAR leggings, jeans, t-shirts, club dress, low cut shirts. tank top muscle shirt, shorts, and pants with holes in them. Invest in a suit t will pay off in the end. Make yourself presentable I have seen girl go in with a messy bun, guys un shaven. These are no-nos ironed your clothes the night before,shave, do your hair. These are simple things, but make a big difference, yo are selling yourself to them and you and do that if you don't look the part.

3. Know your worth

Be confident in what you do and know. If they ask for a weakness come off as In know I have the weakness, but I'm working on making them a strength. I've talked to many professionals who have all said begin nervously it part of it, but if you nervous to the point of not being able to hold a conversation or look them in the eye they are not going to hire you.

4. Ask them questions

Don't let them ask you all the questions you look better if you ask them questions. Interviewers don;t what to be the only ones talking have a conversation with them. I had someone look at my resume say "well, you clearly educated, and have experience, but why do you what not work here." We went back and forth for 45 minutes we actually ran over on time , which is never a bad thing. At the end of the interview, he asked if I had any more questions. I did I ask him why he like working for the company. They were taken back and surprised and impressed in some cases and you what to leave them impressed.

5. Body language

Engage in the conversation not only by speaking but also with your body if you arms are crossed and you are leaning back in your chair to the interviewer. You are not engaged or interested and then they look at you are wasting not only their time,but yours and the interview will quickly end. Don't forget to smile, I think people forget about a power of a smile can have on an individual.

6. A Thank you Note

Right after the interview send the people who interview you a handwritten Thank you letter. A handwritten note is old-fashion and with technology, many people believe that sending an email thank you is enough. well in the day and age with all the competition out there it's time to go back to old fashion. That and little things that can make a HUGE difference. I would not have today if it wasn't my thank you letter both my bosses have that letter on their desk. They said, "you just not see that anymore we really appreciated."

7. The Wow Factor

This is anything you can do to stand out amongst the crowd, whether it is your resume,interview style,personality, or that handwritten thank you or even that follow-up weeks after the interview. You what to keep your name in their heads. I necessary didn't have all the experience they were looking for, but they said "no one interview better than you." I take pride in that because after the many interviews and reject letter it finally all paid off nd now I'm where i belong and love it!!
