3. Greet the interviewer with a handshake and a smile. If you prefer not to shake hands due to COVID-19 precautions, consider providing a wave instead!
   
   
4. Be prepared to talk about your strengths and what qualifies you as a great candidate for this position!
   
   
5. Bring questions. You will almost always get asked if you have any questions about the position you are applying for. You may ask questions regarding your role and responsibilities, the work culture, or if there are opportunities for advancement. This is the perfect opportunity to determine if this position is a good fit for you!
