1. Remember: The interview is meant to determine if you're a good fit for the company.
The first thing you need to do before the actual interview is figure out why you want it.
In preparation for the interview, Goldman Sachs suggests you answer these questions:
(1)Which experiences and skills make you perfect for the job?
(2)What are your strengths and weaknesses?
(3)Do you have the necessary skills and commitment?
(4)How do you know you want this job?
2. Make a really good first impression.
Arrive to the interview site early and plan your route ahead of time.
Goldman Sachs also suggests allowing yourself 20-30 minutes for final interview prep so you can practice your key talking points.
3. Take names of people you meet.
The bank also says it's important to memorize names, especially the names of your interviewer(s) when it comes to making a good first impression.
4. Be prepared to talk about your past work experience.
Goldman Sachs usually gives a behavior interview, which is often referred to as a competency-based interview.
During this sort of interview, you will be evaluated on past behavior to determine your future performance. For example, you might be asked to describe previous experiences where you held a leadership role or had to work in a team environment.
Goldman suggests picking examples ahead of time and highlighting specific skills.
5. Get ready to read and analyze a case study.
During a case study interview, you will be asked to analyze a situation and then discuss how to address that problem.
For example, you might be asked to determine how many manholes are in Manhattan. You won't be expected to come up with an answer on the spot, but instead think about and discuss how to solve the problem.
This is a good way to gauge someone's problem-solving skill and creativity.
6. After the interview you can send a brief thank you email if you want to.
Goldman says that sending a thank you email is a nice gesture, but it's not necessary. Goldman says written letters take too long and phone calls can be awkward.
If you decide to send an email keep it short and professional.
