E’s Answer
Interviewers are people too, so put yourself in their shoes and ask 'if I was going to hire somebody to work for my company, what attributes would I be looking for?' -- more often than not, as others have mentioned, a few core competencies are always desirable to demonstrate - a positive attitude, professional demeanor, demonstration of effort/preparedness (i.e., having sincere questions prepared, researching the company's website ahead of time and being familiar with their mission statement and any recent news stories), and confidence. If you believe in yourself, others will too.

Spend about 30 minutes looking through the company's website and make note of a couple of points to take away about what the company stands for and who they want. Having a frame of reference will be super helpful in knowing how to answer questions or what questions you want answered.

Confidence is key! Even if you don’t exactly feel confident, fake it till you make it. It’s important to be yourself instead of trying to be someone you think the interviewer will like.

Prepare a set of five true stories that can be modified to answer any question. For example, prepare a story of a time when you persevered after a failure. Do a mock interview to practice.

Every interview is dependent on the person. The experiences that you have had is something that no one can take away from you, so say whatever you need to say. Be confident and be proud because you got that interview for a reason.

Research the company and what they offer/publicize. Talk to anyone you know to get advice. Remember it’s just a conversation.

Have a lot of questions. There’s no such thing as a bad question, and everyone is more than happy to answer them. Your questions can give them a better sense of who you are and why you should work for them.

You have some amazing guidance in the above responses! I would just like to add a few related to the post-interview:
- always follow up after the interview, thank them for their time, use it as the opportunity to tell them how interested you are in the job
- ask for the job, don't be shy
- if you don't hear back, continue to follow up --- don't let them forget you!
Good luck and have confidence!!

Five Friendly Tips for Acing the Interview
1. Get to know the company well. Learn about its history, where it stands today, and any future plans. If you genuinely admire the company, it'll show in your conversation during the interview.
2. Dress smartly and professionally. When you look the part, people might even ask if you're heading to an interview. That's a great sign that you've nailed your appearance.
3. Make your resume flawless. Have someone skilled in writing take a look at it. Be familiar with the job you're applying for and show how your resume proves you're the right fit.
4. Arrive early, but not too early. Aim to be at the interview location 30 minutes ahead of time to sort out parking and find the entrance. Be ready to go in about 15 minutes before your scheduled time. If it's an online interview, be prepared when the virtual room opens.
5. Stay positive and be yourself. Flash a genuine smile and let your natural positivity shine. Companies often seek candidates who are not only qualified but also a joy to work with. Make the interviewer glad they discovered you.
