Biggest misconception about job interviews: We think that going on an interview is primarily going to entail us talking about ourselves. It's not. Going on an interview is about talking about how we can fit into the corporate mission and culture of the company we are being interviewed to work with.

A very important part of a job interview is the handshake you give your interviewer. Make absolutely certain you keep a firm grip on your interviewer's hand, but do not try to “battle” them for the tightest grip. A surprising amount of our opinion of people comes from how they shake our hands.

Do you have a job interview this summer? Make sure to get there early. Remember that early is on time, and on time is late. Try to arrive at the interview office at least 15 minutes early. That way, you’ll have time to compose yourself before the big interview.

What you wear for your job interview can make all the difference in the way your prospective employer sees you. As a teen, you must make a special effort to appear trustworthy and “together”. To do this, wear an ironed button-up shirt and some nice slacks if possible.
