Ten to 15 minutes early is appropriate.

If people who work at the company wear suits to work, try to dress accordingly for your interview. If people who work at the company wear jeans and t-shirts, though, that gives you the green light to go <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">slightly<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> more casual for your interview. Should you also wear jeans and a t-shirt? No. But do you need to wear a suit? Definitely not. Try to make a wardrobe choice that\u2019s somewhere in the middle, being mindful of appropriate hemlines and necklines. Whatever you choose, your clothing should never be in obvious disrepair (holes, rips, stains).<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n\n\n<article id=\"faq-block_5f2d9720db986\" class=\"faq--item\">\n   <div class=\"faq--question\">Should I email a thank you note, or should I handwrite one and send it in the mail? <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/resources.newhouse.syr.edu\/cdc\/wp-content\/themes\/cdc-resources-theme-master\/img\/plus-solid.svg\" alt=\"Plus sign\" class=\"faq--question--icon\"><\/div>\n   <div class=\"faq--answer\"><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It depends! If the company is small, and if you can\u2019t find a mailing address, a short and sweet thank you email will suffice. However, a handwritten note can show an employer that you\u2019re willing to go the extra mile. If you interview with more than one person, send individual thank you notes, and always differentiate them; do not simply copy and paste your message. Always send thank you notes or emails within 24 hours of interviewing.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n\n\n<article id=\"faq-block_5f2da970a55a9\" class=\"faq--item\">\n   <div class=\"faq--question\">What is NOT ok to do\/mention in an interview? <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/resources.newhouse.syr.edu\/cdc\/wp-content\/themes\/cdc-resources-theme-master\/img\/plus-solid.svg\" alt=\"Plus sign\" class=\"faq--question--icon\"><\/div>\n   <div class=\"faq--answer\"><ul class=\"n8H08c UVNKR\">\n<li id=\"h.p_Kl-8lcw0SmrZ\" class=\"TYR86d zfr3Q\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are a few no-no\u2019s that can dash your chances of landing your dream internship or job. Steer clear of doing or discussing the following things:<\/span>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Salary and\/or pay: this information will either be made clear in the job description before you apply, or it will be made clear in an offer letter so that you can consider it before making a decision.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bad-mouthing a former employer or experience, or placing blame on a former coworker: avoid this. It puts the interviewer in an awkward position to respond, and it may cause you to come across as unwilling to take responsibility or remain professional.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Answering or checking your phone: plainly and simply, it\u2019s disrespectful to pay attention to your phone during an interview. Give the employer your undivided attention, and you\u2019ll come across as genuinely interested in the position.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not asking questions: always come to the interview prepared with a list of eight to 10 questions that you\u2019d like to ask. Chances are that many of your questions will be answered during the interview itself, and you\u2019ll still have some left over that you can ask at the end. It\u2019s a good idea to bring the list of questions with you, along with a pen and notepad to take notes throughout the interview or when your questions are answered.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n\n\n<article id=\"faq-block_5f2da9eda55ad\" class=\"faq--item\">\n   <div class=\"faq--question\">What should I do after the interview? <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/resources.newhouse.syr.edu\/cdc\/wp-content\/themes\/cdc-resources-theme-master\/img\/plus-solid.svg\" alt=\"Plus sign\" class=\"faq--question--icon\"><\/div>\n   <div class=\"faq--answer\"><ul class=\"n8H08c UVNKR\">\n<li id=\"h.p_m47IHMd6S8Rw\" class=\"TYR86d zfr3Q QcmuFb\">Find out timeline before you leave.
