Transcription: Arrive 10 minutes early and make sure you bring your resume and application information with you. When you greet the employer, offer a firm handshake and a polite hello. You'll have a chance to get settled and establish some rapport before the question and answer phase starts. It's usually a good idea to talk about some interest you share with your interviewer, such as books you've read, sports news, or some interesting item in the interview room.
