TIPS TO A SUCCESSFUL JOB INTERVIEW
The second step in getting the job is meeting the potential employer for an
interview. The first step that an applicant has successfully completed was
sending your application and passing the screening process of the company.
The employer got the resume through a variety of sources that can be from an
ad that was posted, a referral from a friend or a headhunter, or by a person
who simply submitted an application by logging on the companys website.
Here are a few tips that will help in having a successful interview:-
Before going to an interview, it is best to do some research about the
company one is applying to.
It is also best to practice with a friend or family member mock up
questions that the employer will likely ask so you do not choke during the
real interview.
When you go for an interview, it is best to always arrive 10 to 15 minutes
ahead of time. This shows employers that the person is punctual and serves
as a good attribute in a potential employee.
When meeting an employer, you should bring an extra copy of the resume and
other documents that are needed if asked certain questions. A good example
is architects and photographers who are professionals in the respective
fields who have a portfolio of the works done which may impress the
interviewer.
It is always best to dress appropriately. This shows the employer
sincerity on the part of the applicant applying for the job. One must have
finger-nails and hair well groomed for the interview. The outfit worn should
be professional. This would mean that shoes must be used to match the
outfit. If you typically wear a lot of jewelry, it is advisable to remove
and tone it down for the interview.
When you are in front of the employer, smile and greet the interviewer
with a firm (but not bone crushing) handshake which is always a good start
to get the interview moving.
During the course of the interview, listen very well to the questions
asked. Each must be answered truthfully and confidently to be able to sell
yourself to the potential employer.
Afterwards, the applicant should thank the recruiter for the time that was
given to meet for the interview.
