Interviews ? What you should be asking ? Mary-Margaret Network ...

This ran previously on Mary-Margaret.com, and now we offer it again.

You put a lot of time into preparing for every interview because you are a professional in the Game Industry. You have researched the company, the position, their product line or services, the people you are going to meet and even what to wear on the day.

Now you are in the door and it is up to you to make sure they think you are the best person for the job. You also need to make sure this company is the best place for you to work.

Door to Door Checklist:

• How do you feel when you walk in? Is the atmosphere inviting? Is there someone there to welcome you? Are they prepared and on time to meet with you?
• As you are escorted to the interview room (conference room, office, etc.) what do you see in the office? Is the decor pleasing or trying too hard to be hip? Do people look happy, alert and focused or tired and disconnected from their coworkers? Is everyone at work or are there lots of empty seats with no explanation volunteered?
• Does each interviewer have a copy of your resume, a pad for notes or an obvious familiarity with your background? Do they ask open ended questions or do they steer you in certain directions? Does the interview atmosphere feel friendly, welcoming and challenging or does it feel cold or hostile?
• Are you offered something to drink and made comfortable? If you are interviewing with multiple people over several hours, is the flow of the day being managed well with time for bathroom breaks?
• Make sure that you are ready with questions of your own. Why do you like to work here? What opportunities has this company given you? What are your long term goals? What about the project, product or service of the company excites you?
• You should, of course be ready with company specific questions as well.
• Did you receive the interviewer?s business card when you requested it? Were they willing to receive a follow-up email from you after the interview? Did you make sure to give them your card so they could contact you quickly (don?t rely on your resume in their hands)?
• When the interview ends are you escorted warmly to the door?

You have put your best into preparing for this interview. Make sure the company is interested in making a positive impression on you.

Shine On! Mary-Margaret
