An interview can help a Manager determine three things before making a decision to hire you:
1. Can you do the job: Do you have the necessary skills, abilities, knowledge,
experience & qualifications?
2. Are you motivated: Are you motivated, dependable and do your goals benefit the
company?
3. Do you fit with the organization: Does your appearance, presentation & good
attitude go well with the culture of the company?
