Show and Tell

Acing an interview requires more than pleasant conversation.
The research, preparation and planning required for a job interview can be a tedious task, but it can also set you apart from the competition.
Doing an internet search on any big news involving the company can be a good conversation piece with the interviewer.
E.g. if the company is in transitional period, use that opportunity to point out your skills that would help them through this change.
Preparation leads to confidence during an interview.
Products and services have brands, but people have brands as well.
It is important to project that brand through research you've done about the company and knowing your resume.
Study your resume and have 4-5 examples ready in case an employer has questions.
E.g. if the interviewer asks: "Have you ever done X?" you can respond with the situation, what you did, and list the results without hesitation.
However, job candidates should limit their responses to essential information only.
Talking too much, or too little can be perceived as negative.
There's a fine line.
You need to listen and answer.
Some people get excited and try to describe everything they've ever done.
When asked about his past experience one candidate talked for 35 minutes without taking a breath.
