By admin on May 30, 2010 in Uncategorized
Even when you have gone one or more interviews than you can count, still job interviews never seems to get any easier. With interviews, you are sure to meet new people to whom you will sell yourself and your skills for them to convince that you are the right individual for that certain position.
Well, if you are still wondering what to do to be able to have successful interviews and get the job, below are the 3 rules that you can give an eye on.
FIRST: Be Prepared!
When you are scheduled for an interview, it is very important that you look fresh and in tip-top form. It is advisable to just schedule two interviews a day, one in the morning and the second in early afternoon. That way, you will be alert for the first session and will have a break before the second one starts giving you the time to reread your notes and relax.
Another advice is to avoid having to go out for a luncheon interview. This kind of interview may offer too many opportunities to go wrong like spilling a food or using a wrong fork. Yes, those may not be exactly related to the job but you have to keep in mind that you need not to promote a bad impression. Remember, establishing a good impression is a great start!
SECOND: Do Your Part
Once you are scheduled for an interview, it is a great step to start doing some research. Review your notes, calling some of your colleagues to see what they can share to your knowledge or calling the company as an anonymous to gather relevant information which may help you. Doing so will help you know the basics and will let you speak intelligently on your actual interview. Also, try to get an understanding of the company’s culture, values and the kind of employees it hires. Of course, the interviewer will always seek for someone whom he think is a good match for the team and could really get along with.
THIRD: Dress Appropriately and Be Confident
It is really significant to wear the appropriate attire in an interview. This adds to your personality. After all, you want to look presentable, energetic and intelligent, right?
You need to be confident at all times. That is why the second rule is really important because it is related to this rule. How can you be confident if you know that your knowledge isn’t enough? If you are equipped with the proper knowledge about the job and the company, you are sure that you can answer the questions that will be asked by the interviewer. It is also important to avoid using fillers (“uhmm.. hmmm..”) while answering questions because those can make you look unintelligent and unprepared.
Again, first impression is a great start!
Interviews seem to be difficult if and only if you are not prepared, you do not have knowledge and you lack self confidence. But if you will follow the three rules stated above, you are sure to have successful interviews.
