Make the first minute count
- Be on time
- If caffeine makes you jittery, only consume a small amount prior to your interview
- Turn your pager and cell phone to silent
- Get full names (including spellings) of the interviewers from the departmental secretary so that you know who you are seeing and can send thank you letters later.
- Check to make sure there isn't food between your teeth
- Look the interviewer(s) in the eye
- Greet them by name and offer your hand for a firm handshake
- Let everyone else sit down first before you take a seat
- Take a deep breath and RELAX
