Regarding dressing appropriately, I always ask the recruiter in advance what attire is appropriate. Since I have always worked in high-tech, the answer is not trivial. Some companies look at you strangely if you show up wearing a suit, and find that business casual is more appropriate. Another good tip is to do your research about the company. I am really impressed when someone I am interviewing makes an insightful comment about the company, our products, our recent deals or our industry. I always make it a point to study the company and its business for at least a few hours before going to interview. Finally, practicing your answers in advance is always a good idea. A good friend of mine is a Stanford PhD student who is completing her studies this year and a couple of weekends ago had a job market – a concentrated weekend where she interviewed with 17 different organizations… whew! Prior to the big weekend, she asked me to interview her. She asked the same of several other people she knew. Always pays to be prepared… Excellent post, as always.
