Throughout your interview, you'll want to convey confidence and appear prepared and comfortable answering every question. Make every effort to let no question catch you off guard. Research their website and clues into their culture. IBM's recruiters advise you; "pick out specific keywords from the job descriptions and use them." Also, spend adequate time researching your work history, including past reviews, accomplishments, growth opportunities, and progress in furthering your development. Don't worry about whether they've already spoken with your previous employer, and don't guess what your manager thinks of you. Just focus on the question and your answer with confidence and sincerity.

"My bosses would say that I am a team player who always backs up and supports their vision and the vision of the company. They'd say I frequently lead by example and set the pace and positive energy. They'd say I have a great attitude and that you should hire me. At least, that's what they told me to say to you if you asked."
