Give yourself the edge in an interview by turning it into a business meeting.  What do I mean by that?  Let the conversation flow and instead of waiting until the end of the interview when the interviewer says, “Now, do you have any questions for me?” and outlining your three prepared questions – let the questions flow from the answers you’re giving to the interviewer’s questions.  Once this flow gets going the conversation becomes more like a business meeting and less like an interview.

 

Here’s an interesting thing to consider: with the exception of recruiters most of the people that are interviewing you HATE to conduct interviews – and if they haven’t done much interviewing they will be as nervous as you are.  If you control the conversation, ask questions and put your interviewer at ease, they will like you that much more!
