How to Have a Successful Interview

Contributed by the New York Society of Security Analysts

Whether you are presently looking for a position or are planning on transitioning to a new one, you must be prepared for an interview. Eventually, you will have to sit down across the table from your future boss and convince them that you are the best candidate for the job. Know what is important to them and to you. Deliver your message clearly and concisely—and do it better than your competition! Find out the keys to successful interviewing from a seasoned career coach who can guide you through the end game of the job search process by:

  • Going beyond the website to prepare for your interview
  • Setting the tone of the meeting
  • Focusing on the requirements of the interviewer
  • Asking the right questions—and avoiding the wrong ones
  • Following up with a thank you and more

You’ll gain more confidence by in-class practice of what you’ve learned.
