Prepare for a job interview and follow-up for a selected industry.

Preparation should be made for

  • job interview (in-person, by phone, or virtually)—wearing appropriate attire, demonstrating good hygiene, etiquette, body language, oral communications skills, conducting research about the business, and participating in mock interviews
  • follow-up communications—sending a letter at the conclusion of an interview, including the applicant's interest in the job, an expression of gratitude for the interview opportunity, and a restatement of qualifications.
