        2. -Research -What are the primary functions of the line of business? What are the success factors for the job? Is there a job description available?

        6. -Practice - It may seem awkward, but it is the best way to come across well in an interview. Practice your own "great responses" with others or in front of a mirror until you appear relaxed and at ease.
        7. -Follow-up - Send a brief follow-up letter to the interviewer. Keep in mind that the many job searchers will not send a follow-up letter. Sending one can become a competitive advantage.
