Another big complaint we get from clients is the lack of energy candidates possess. There are several candidates that had all of the qualifications for the role but lacked energy and ended up losing to another candidate that was less qualified. So, energy is very important. If you are on a phone interview, make sure you stand. When you stand, your voice carries more and you sound much more enthused. If you are on a site interview, make sure you have an extra coffee or the like. Have a little pep in your step. Be enthused. Believe me, this will make a big difference in your success rate.

This is just one step in the overall process.  Remember to review the other five steps below to make sure you are fully prepared.
