It’s essential during interviews to strike a balance between being friendly and personable in showing your skills and qualifications. On the one hand, you want to make a good impression and build rapport with your interviewer. You must also show that you are capable and qualified for the job.
To do this, you must start by researching the company and the position you’re applying for. It will give you a better understanding of the company culture and the skills needed for the job. During the interview, be friendly and be prepared to provide specific examples of how your skills and qualifications make you a good fit for the position.
Remember, the interviewer seeks someone who can do the job and fit the company culture. So display your personality and communication skills while highlighting your relevant experience and professional accomplishments.

A retired Air Force Master Sergeant, Mike used to lay in bed at night and worry about what would happen if his plant closed or found himself without a job. One day his plant closed. Rather than panic and hysteria (OK, maybe a little) Mike found himself carried away on the adventure of his life. Mike started with the best job he ever had working at Home Depot. He spent 8 years working with job seekers at a local workforce center, helping them to find employment. He then started his own company developing courses, writing books and urging others to follow their own paths into the future.
Mike holds a Master of Arts in Adult Education and Training and a Bachelor of Business Management, earned through the University of Phoenix and an AAS degree in Electronics Systems Technology from the Community College of the Air Force. Mike is a member of the Delta Mu Delta Business Honor Society.
