Finger Lakes Works
The Big Day• Have extra copies of resume, documents of identification
such as driver’s license, SS card, birth certificate, working pen, paper, and/or portfolio.
• Arrive no more than 10-15 minutes early.• Be very courteous and polite to anyone with whom you
come in contact.• Don’t smoke before or during the interview, don’t bring
beverages or other people with you.• Feel good about yourself!
Finger Lakes Works
The Big Day…• When greeting the interviewer(s): shake hands, smile, and introduce
yourself, repeat the interviewer’s name and remain standing until you are asked to sit.
• Pay attention to your non-verbal communication (posture, eye contact, fidgeting). Don’t slouch, yawn or display signs of nervousness. Keep your hands clasped on your lap or grasping your portfolio/resume to avoid nervous movement.
• Think before you speak. Answer questions thoughtfully and directly. Provide visual or verbal examples in your responses.
• Be prepared for the unexpected (tours, tests, more than one interview etc).
Finger Lakes Works
Questions to Ask the Interviewer• Employers gauge your interest in the position by the critical
questions you pose.• Nothing is more disappointing to an interviewer than to ask
if you have any questions and you respond with a “NO”.• Never ask about salary or benefits unless the interviewer
brings them up first.
Finger Lakes Works
Take Charge of Salary Questions (only if the interviewer brings up the topic)
• Delay salary questions if possible. Keep your response vague.
• Ask what is budgeted for the position or what they might pay someone with your qualifications.
• Respond with “It’s not always about salary, it’s about the job. If it’s the right job for me and I am the right person, salary won’t be an issue.”
• Arm yourself with labor market information: www.labor.state.ny.us Go to Labor Market Information.

End of the Interview Be sure and thank the interviewer for his/her time. Request the interviewer’s business card (for the
thank you note later).
