• Be familiar with the type of positions for which you’re applying. • Reflect on your own background. What skills do you have that relate to the job you are applying for?

• Think of examples from your past experience where you demonstrated those skills. How can you give an example about your use of particular skills or knowledge?

• Be prepared to provide examples of when results didn’t turn out as you planned. What did you do then? In hindsight, what would you do differently?

• Identify two or three of your strengths and determine how you will convey these assets during the interview.
