Interview Schminterview

I believe that the article lists a lot of the main interview mistakes. The only one that I could see that they did not list was how to dress for the interview. Obviously, you want to dress for the job that you want, and if an interviewer sees you dressed differently, it might not matter what you say during the actual interview. The image that you put off greatly affects how well you are perceived by the interviewer/company. I feel like these mistakes are common sense, and can be easily prepared for.
I have only been in three interviews, but only one that was formal (over the phone). The other two interviews were just formalities to finish my job introduction. One of my interviews was at my first true job at Firehouse Subs. The owner was asking me about my school life and school accomplishments when I turned in my application for hire. Another of my interviews was at a realty company, where my brother had set me up with a job. I went in to talk to the manager so she could put a name with a face and just go over some of the basics. The phone interview was much more formal, and was for a possible summer internship with a minor league baseball team. I had never had a phone interview so I had to practice for some basic questions, and my mom called me a couple times and asked me some interview questions. I think this practice, and me researching about the team and its values, helped me tremendously. I was a little nervous at first, but as I got to know how the interviewer was going to act towards my answers, I was able to calm my nerves and answer the questions better. I made sure that I was in a private place with no distractions so I could answer the questions to the best of my ability.
All I could suggest for a job interviewee to be best prepared is to just practice on basic interview questions (can find most online), be sure you want to work with the company and share the same values as the company, do some research on the company and the job, dress appropriately, and just be positive and have faith in yourself. As long as you bring your best, there is nothing else you can ask of yourself.
