A job interview can be an incredibly stressful experience. However, with the right amount of preparation, research and practice, it can be a great opportunity for you. You should treat an interview as simply an exchange of information between two or more people for the purpose of communicating one's qualifications for a job. Sound too easy? If you take the right steps, it really can be! When you have done some research, be sure to set up a career counseling appointment for a practice interview. Counselors can also help prepare you for answering tough questions in an interview and help coach you on how best to navigate the interview process.
