The elements of an effective strategy for handling the employment interview can be summarized as follows:

1. Being properly and adequately prepared requires you to:
   
   • Inventory all responsibilities you've performed
   • Evaluate how well you carried out your duties
     
2. Interviewing deportment will take care of itself when:
   
   • You are adequately and properly prepared
   • You strive to project eagerness and interest throughout the interview
   • Stay in character as a conversationalist by being yourself
   
   
3. The “tough” questions that employers ask are best handled:
   
   • By being adequately and properly prepared
   • By never apologizing
   • By keeping your explanations brief and factual
   • By maintaining a constant interviewing demeanor
     
4. To enjoy an interviewing advantage, prove your competency:
   
   • By stating how well you performed in the past
   • By letting your past achievements promise future contributions
   • By using the 1-2-3 mini-story technique: stating the problem; describing your solution; emphasizing the results
   
   
5. Concluding the interview consists of:
   • Getting a "what-will-happen" summary
   • Accepting an offer on the spot if it's what you want
   • Always showing interest in all job offers
   • Immediately reporting your progress to your Account Executive
   • Writing a brief follow-up thank-you letter to the employer
