It’s normal to feel overwhelmed when you are in school and you are constantly hearing from your professors to make connections, get involved, manage your time, have a perfect resume, volunteer, and so much more.

Your resume, credentials, and networking powers have gotten you this far but the interview for your future dream job is something that will matter the most. If you want to really kill your interview, whether that interview is in-person or through the computer, here are some things to think about.

1. The obvious: dress to impress

This might seem like old news, but just because it’s obvious doesn’t mean it’s not important. I personally love to show my personality through the things that I wear. I always dreaded looking business professional because I felt so too serious and that I couldn’t show my stylistic side of it.

But now I love to be stylish while still looking professional. You need to dress to impress when it comes to your interview so throw a little of your style into the things that you are wearing to show flair and stand out. If your interview is online, you should still dress from head to toe in what you would wear if it were in-person.

You’ll want to pay attention to the colors that you choose before going into the interview. You’ll still want to wear simple patterns and neutral colors. If you wear all black you could throw a pop of color but make sure that it’s not too bright but maybe add a bit of personality to your outfit. If you’re interviewing at a creative, casual agency, make sure the attire you settle on is professional.

2. The extra mile

Go deeper into the organization. Read the company’s stated values and objectives on its website. Search on the web and in trade publications to see if the company has achieved anything recently, whether an industry award or opening a new branch.

Look at the larger issues in the overall industry and compare your company of choice to see how they stack up. All of this research can give you great ideas for tailored questions to ask about the organization when the interviewer turns the floor over to you at the end of the meeting.

It makes a huge difference in the interviewer's eyes when you know so much about the organization’s goals and background information. They are even more impressed if you have good insightful questions to follow with the thing they say about the organization.

You can also use social media to connect with current and former employees to get the inside scoop. With social media being so prominent in our society, most companies have accounts and websites that you can go on to look at what they have been up to.

This will help you get a better view of what the day-to-day life would be like at your dream job. Make sure you ask good questions but always be tactful. You don't want to phrase your questions too negatively for fear you'll get evasive answers.

3. Show the interviewer that you’re motivated

Aside from presenting a polished and well-written resume, Kaitlyn Annaert, human resources manager at Voices.com, the largest online marketplace that connects brands with voiceover talent, advises candidates to come to the interview dressed for the part, interested in the company, and with great questions prepared.

Letting your motivation and drive come through is key to impressing your interviewer, especially since you have limited work experience.

4. Be real, even on weakness

Many interviewers ask some version of a question about your biggest weakness. Please don't say: "I'm a perfectionist," "I work too hard," or "I care too much." When interviewers hear that, they would need specific examples of why and more intentional answers.

They might hear that all of the time and would like to hear something different and insightful. They are your typical answers and you want to make sure that your answers are authentic and true to your personality. It’s important to be authentic when talking about your weaknesses because it shows self-awareness, humility and the ability to grow.

Instead, he said, set up your response like this: "In the past, I've gotten feedback on this, I've taken it on in this way and this is how I'm improving on it."
