Applying for a new job? Whether you're pursuing a technical career or treading down the path of academia, Berk Trade and Business School in Long Island City recommends researching your potential employer and thoroughly preparing yourself for the interview.

To help you ace your interview, check out these job interview tips for technical careers, brought to you by the professionals at Berk Trade and Business School, one of New York's leading technical institutes:

• Know The Company: Before you even apply, research your potential employer. Look up the company history, the mission statement and the current faculty and staff. Make sure you know the business like the back of your hand so you can cater your application, CV, and interview responses specifically to their institution.
• Prepare Interview Answers: Another great way to prepare for an interview is to look up common interview questions for your field. Try and find both questions and answers so you can use a script as a template for your own interview.
• Make Lasting Impressions: It doesn't matter whether you're at the beginning of your technical career or you're applying for a promotion, the most important thing to do during an interview is to make a lasting impression on everyone you meet. This means you should dress professionally, maintain a positive attitude, and stay genuine.
