Write “this product is good because…” and start naming its features. And ask yourself: is this product really necessary? Job interviews are a right of passage for young adults and a real pain in the you know what for everyone else. They are preceded by stress, nervousness and uncertainty. The problem is that your prospective employer is looking for certain things out of you and you have no idea what they are. For all you know, they’re looking for a supremely flexible person that can wing certain things and you present yourself as a regimented go getter that will follow company policy to the letter.

How did they grown into what they are now? Most importantly, where do they see themselves going? If you know these things, you’ll be better able to articulate how you fit into their plans.

So although you want to convey that you’re knowledgeable and capable, make sure your interviewer knows that you’re not a stick in the mud. If you keep a sense of humor and allow yourself to smile and laugh a little, you’re a step ahead of most people.

Maybe you worked at a fast food restaurant and the law firm you’re interviewing for is involved in litigation against a local fast food chain. Anything you can bring to the table that makes you a unique asset to this company will help your chances.
