Think back to the worst interview you've ever had. What was happening inside yourself? From the interviewer or the situation? What were you doing that didn't work well? What did you do very well? I recommend you explore the interview for all positions whether full, part-time or contract work in three separate phases. Your interview will either secure your offer or not. I recommend that you hold in context the interview as two things: to explore whether working at that company is a good fit for you and second to have fun and clarify your offerings and your professional value and contribution.

The three phases of interviewing:

1. Research 2. Reality 3. Respond

Before embarking on any interviews the first step is clarity your value, what you can do for them: your accomplishments, your unique offering, and what you are looking for. Take the time to get yourself clear and focused and apply for positions which you know you have a high probability for. This increases your confidence and saves time. Find out about the company and people interviewing you. Take the time to do thorough research on the company in the paper, on Linkedin, on Facebook, Twitter and by your informational interviews. The more you know what is current the more creditable and professional you are. Remember that interviews are a process of observing, sharing, responding, and impressing. The most comprehensive way to do all of this is to do your research.
