How would you describe yourself?

35 © Copyright 2010, Dahlstrom+Company, Inc. All rights reserved. www.DahlstromCo.com The Job Hunting Handbook Be prepared to ask a few questions during your interview. What are the day-to-day responsibilities of this job? What would you consider to be the most important aspects of this job? What were the major strengths and weaknesses of the last person who held this job? What are the next steps in the interview process?

36 © Copyright 2010, Dahlstrom+Company, Inc. All rights reserved. www.DahlstromCo.com The Job Hunting Handbook How will you know when the interview is over? Shake Hands!!! Not a limp shake! Not a kinda shake. Please, no hugging. Shake the person’s hand like you mean it.
