A successful Job Interview is a key step in the job search process. Before you head out to a job interview, it's a good idea to practice answering the types of interview questions employers will likely ask. Managers, professionals and executive job seekers are rarely experts in interviewing from the candidate side of the desk. Successful interviews require extensive preparation. You must anticipate the interview questions and formulate the best response. It is important to understand the true purpose behind the questions and tailor your answers to fit the situation. Behavioral interview questions are often used in mid to upper-level candidate screening and you should understand the best method to respond to these types of questions. The first interview is usually designed to eliminate candidates, not to select the finalist, and the more you know about the process the better your chances are of making a strong and favorable impression.

Managers, professionals and executives are usually articulate individuals with excellent career and track records. They often do poorly in interviews because of a lack of serious preparation, and the belief that their accomplishments will speak for themselves. Unfortunately accomplishments don't speak for themselves and a well-prepared candidate with highly-developed interview skills often gets a position over a better qualified candidate that was poorly prepared.

The USA Company Directory contains approximately 40,000 links to company and employers web sites. These sites are organized by Industry and are fully searchable. The Canadian Company Directory contains approximately 13,000 links. These two Directories are one of the largest, if not the largest, continuously updated industry list of company web sites available on the Internet. If you intend to be a serious candidate for a position, you should never go to an interview without reviewing the material on the company web site. Employers expect candidates to care enough about the position to do some basic research on the company.
