Prepare for a job interview and follow-up.

Preparation should be made for

• job interview—wearing appropriate attire; demonstrating good hygiene, etiquette, and communication skills; conducting research about the business; and participating in mock interviews
• follow-up—a thank-you letter should always be sent at the conclusion of an interview and should include the applicant's interest in the job, a note of gratitude, and a restatement of qualifications.

Process/Skill Questions:

• Why is job interview preparation important?
• What types of questions should you anticipate during an interview?
• What steps should you take before having a phone interview?
• What is the value of a thank-you note after an interview?
• How might the job description influence interview attire?
• How important is body language in an interview?
