Don't be afraid to ask questions. Questions don't make you look stupid. Asking good
questions shows the interviewer you're thoughtful and that you're not afraid to interact
with other people — a particularly good interview strategy if the position involves
dealing with people, such as sales. If you can, practice being interviewed by an adult
in business. When the real time comes, you'll be more prepared and comfortable.
5. Follow up. Send the interviewer a brief email or letter thanking him or her for
spending time with you. Say how interested you are in the position. This is a
particularly good strategy if you're interviewing for an internship or office position.
Your future employer will be impressed by your determination.
Parents or older siblings can offer good advice about job hunting and interviewing. So
don't hesitate to ask for help on everything from putting together your résumé to choosing
an interview outfit. Chances are, you'll be interviewing with and working for people their
age anyway so a little insight can't hurt.
