I recently taught a workshop on interviewing to 400 high-schoolers. Since teenagers tend to have pretty limited experience with interviews, not to mention notoriously short attention spans, I had to find a way to keep the information short, sweet, and simple. But in doing so, I realized I was getting a pretty nice refresher myself.
For the 17-and-under crowd, I broke down the interview process into dos and don’ts for before, during, and after the interview. To see if going back to basics is helpful for you, too, read on.
Before the interview:
| Do | Don't |
|

Stay tuned for some basic dos and don’ts to keep in mind during and after your next interview!

Good reminders ! And although I don't think you should "over rehearse" your responses, you SHOULD have practice with the common-asked interview questions (tell me about yourself, asset to our company, greatest strengths/ weaknesses) !
1I agree with all of this. Plus, I think it's a good tip to play to your audience as well. Dress the way they dress, make yourself look suitable for the position you want, so even if it means putting a little snippet about how your passion is teaching or whatever it is you want to do, on your facebook or something, it's worth it.
2who spreads their leg like that and sits...???
3Good advice, I will pass it on to my teenager.
