When you are going to an interview the opening questions usually start off by introducing the company and the position you are applying for, but there are times when the interviewer will open with easy questions about your major or interest (Business and Administrative). They sometimes do this just to get you to relax and just be yourself. If the interviewer starts off by telling you about the company or the position you are applying for then you need to make sure you are listen. This will help to answer the question later in the interview.

When the interview is wrapping up (close) the interviewer will sometimes tell you what is going to happen next. An example could be “we will be finishing the interviews up here within the next week, so we should have an answer for you in three weeks”. This is very important for you to know who to contact if you have not heard anything and also this is the time for you to recap and make sure the interviewer knows you are really interested in the job.

So when you are going for an interview you need to make sure you are prepare for the opening questions which is usually just a few questions to relax you or either about the company. The middle part of the interview is the body and all the facts from you and the interviewer and then you have the closing part and this is where you have the chance to recap what you just learned from the interviewer about the company and ask your questions to show you are interested.

For a job interview to be successful, it is important to be well prepared and have what it takes that sets you apart from the other candidates. Interviewers use three segments when conducting a job interview: the opening, the body, and the close. On average, The first interview last between 30 to 40 minutes, where the first 2 to 5 minutes the interviewer tries to break the ice and lighten the atmosphere by asking questions; or briefly talks about the position or the company.(Locker, 2013 ). Here is an example: How did you hear about the job? Or Why do you think you are the right person for the job? Here, you have the opportunity to shine after you have prepared a strong but concise statement that shows that you are a promising candidate. In the closing of the interview, the interviewer spends another two to five minutes telling you what to expect next, and how you will hear back from the company. This is also a time for you to show enthusiasm for the job and to briefly reiterate your strength and experience. You could end the interview by stating your interest in the position and by asking something like :"is there anything else I can provide, such as background information or references? (Locker, 2013 ). End the visit with a thank you and a firm hand shake, and leave on a positive note, leaving a strong impression on the interviewer. Locker, Kitty O. (2013).
