Beginner Good preparation is essential to a successful job interview. Here’s our guide to the basics you’ll need to cover to plan and practice your performance.
When you’ve been invited for an interview, your thoughts naturally turn to giving a winning performance on the day. A bit like exams, interviews can creep up on you, but good preperation is the key to success.
Job interviews can be a nerve-wracking experience for the applicant and a time-consuming exercise for the hiring company. However, they play a key role in determining whether the company and candidate will make an effective match. As such, the interviewing process provides a great deal of value for the company and candidate alike.
So, here’s a checklist to signpost you to areas you may want to address. Some of it may seem a bit obvious but, because many people don’t interview frequently, it’s worth reminding yourself of the process.
Plan as far in advance as possible
Work on answers to the most common interview questions. The “tell me about yourself” or “talk me Read carefully through the job and person specification, identifying your experiences that demonstrate the skills or knowledge gained. Again, practise articulating each one. Writing down an answer is a good way to do this — reading it aloud, recording yourself or having a mock interview is even better.
Making an Impression
Though the candidate’s resume, cover letter and job application give interviewers an overview of her background and skills, the interview may be the best chance the candidate has to make a favorable impression. For better or worse, the candidate’s physical appearance and ability to handle herself during the questioning will leave a lasting impression and play a vital role in the interviewer’s decision-making process. The interviewer also uses the process to assess the candidate’s personality to determine if she would be a good fit for the organization.
Exchanging Information
The job interview serves as a two-way street for the exchange of information. The interviewer has the opportunity to learn more about the candidate’s background and can also impart more in-depth information about the company and the various duties the job entails. The candidate also has the chance to ask questions to gain additional insight regarding the expectations of the job and to get a better feel for the organization’s culture.
