The Process:

Some companies may require you to complete an application. Some companies may require more than one interview. Ask about the process up front so that you will know what to expect. During the initial interview many recruiters are looking for information on your past job successes, your realistic expectations, and your high energy level. Plan to spend enough time in the interview to make sure that all of your questions are answered. You may want to ask if you can have a tour of the office. Remember you are each interviewing each other, you to see if the company is a good match and the company to see that you are a good match for their environment.
