Interview Suggestions
HELPFUL TIPS WHERE EVER YOU INTERVIEW!
- Be on time (showing up 10 minutes early is perfect, but showing up an hour early may be just as bad as showing up late)
- Dress appropriately & professionally
- if applying to be a group exercise instructor, prepare to be auditioned in front of a class (be ready to teach)
- If applying for a position that may require certifications, bring copies of them to leave with us
- TURN OFF your cell phone
- Do some research about the company & the position you are applying for – relate what you know about the company into your answers
- Prepare a few questions ahead of time that you want to know the answers to – we want to know that you will be a good fit for us, but YOU need to know if we are a good fit for you
- Thank your interviewer, send a thank you note or e-mail within 24 hours to everyone who interviewed you
- Follow up with your interviewer, if a few days have passed and you still haven’t heard from us, feel free to call and ask again about the position (unless we told you it will be longer before we can make any decisions about the position)
