What specific steps will you take to improve your interview performance?
The book lists several reasons why an interview might not go well: being unprepared for the interview (unaware of the company's current situation or industry issues); not convincing the interviewer that your qualifications match the job listing; not giving specific, concrete examples of work accomplishments; giving long, rambling answers; saying too much about or making negative comments about a previous employer; not sending a thank-you note. An interviewer may also be put off by the interviewee's appearance or body language.
