MB: Step 1: Find out about the company before you go. S: How is the best way to do that? MB: Look at their company website to find out how big they are. Find articles about their products or services on the internet. S: Ok … I can do that and make notes. What’s next? MB: Step 2: Prepare your answers … Why you are confident that you can do the job. How can you help them. S: So I should tell them about my abilities and training. MB: Exactly.
