How to Conduct an Effective Job Search
How prepared are you for planning and conducting an effective job search? Successful job seekers must have both good information and well-developed job hunting skills. Three important factors for a successful job search are an awareness of your goals and skills, an understanding of the labor market, and a well planned job search campaign.
Experts recommend that you begin an active job search six to nine months in advance of your target employment date. You can begin the process by visiting the Career Center early (for students, nine months to a year before graduation).

INERVIEW ADVICE:
Before your interview find out everything you can about the company (read their annual report which can be obtained by telephoning them). Re-read your application, thinking through your own career and the questions they might ask you. You should try to anticipate the general questions which they will ask and also prepare some questions to ask them.
To do well at the interview you will need to convince the interviewer you are technically qualified to do the job. You will also need to show that you are sufficiently motivated to get the job done well and that you will fit in with the company's organisational structure and the team in which you will work.
You should dress smartly for the interview and should leave home earlier than you need to on the day of the interview - you may be delayed by traffic or for other reasons. Be courteous to all employees of the company.
At the interview itself you must be positive about yourself and your abilities - but do not waffle.
INTERVIEW BEHAVIOURS:
Behaviour-based interview questions may asked which required to answer with concrete examples
Before the Interview
Do your homework: Before the interview research the company, as your interviewer will likely ask what you know about the company and why you want to work there. Turn off your cell phone and other devices that might interrupt your interview. Arrive about ten minutes early for the interview. This shows that you are eager and punctual. But don't be too early, as it might be an inconvenience for your interviewers. Definitely don't be late.
During the Interview
Sit with good posture. If you don't know what to do with your hands, keep them folded on your lap. This is another indication of good manners. Avoid crossing your arms in front of your chest, as it is off-putting to interviewers. Maintain eye contact with the interviewer. For some, failure to maintain a comfortable level of eye contact indicates that you are lying, searching for answers or lacking confidence.
After the Interview
Be prepared to attend two or three interviews at the same company. If you're called back for another interview, it means that they're interested in you. But they're also narrowing the competition, so keep up the good work! If you don't hear from your interviewers in about a week or 1-2 days after they said you'd hear from them, it's okay to call or send letters of inquiry, asking about your candidate status. One round of calls or letters is sufficient. It shows that you really want the job and are eager to start. Here are a couple of tough questions you should be prepared for, especially those of you without previous employment, before you enter the office of the interviewer.
