Pre-Job Interview Checklist

The following checklist can be used prior to your interview. It is a revised copy of the checklist found in the Kwantlen Coop 1101 Job Search Techniques course manual.

Initial Info:

• What type of job is it?
• When and where is the interview?
• What is the name of the interviewer(s)?
• How are they interviewing? E.g. panel, individual, phone
• What do you know about the company? (make sure to look them up if you don't know enough)
• What skills is the employer looking for? (check in job description)

Interview Portfolio:

• Do you have enough copies of your resume and references? (print these out a day ahead)
• Do you have a sample of your work or achievements or a portfolio? (if required - usually required from marketing students).
• Do you have a paper and pen to take notes?
• Do you have questions prepared to ask them? (make sure to write some down so you don't forget)
