today i want to share you about some tips to an interview. these tips will help you go through an interview with a breeze. check it out ~
1) Plan ahead
Be Prepared! Do a little homework prior to the interview. Browse
through the employers' website and learn something about the company
before you attend your interview.
2) Role play
Once you have finished your research, begin role playing (rehearsing).
Be prepared for questions that are frequently asked by employers such as
"Tell me about yourself" or "Why should we hire you?" Write down
answers if it helps to make your presentation more concise.
3) First impression counts !
You never get a second chance to make a first impression! Dress
professionally and appropriately (according to the job you are applying
for). Flip-flop sandals and singlet are definitely out.
4 ) Be on time
If possible, try getting to the venue before the actual interview day to
see how long it will take. Public transport may be unreliable, you may
have been stuck in heavy traffic, but however reasonable your excuses
are, they won't change the fact that your chances are reduced if you are
late. Remember that first impression counts!
5) Be posititve
Don't criticise past employers, particularly within the industry. Focus
on positive achievements and views.
In particular, avoid negative comments about past employers,. And don't
talk too much! You may be shooting yourself in your foot (literally)
when you disclose too much of information that you do not wish to be
known in the first place.
6) Encourage
Encourage the interviewer to share information about his or her company. Demonstrate your interest.
7) Eye contact
Maintain eye contact with your interviewer. Show that you want the job with interest.
8) Adapt and relate
Listen and adapt. Be sensitive to the style of the interviewer. Try to
relate your answers to the interviewer and his or her company. Focus
on achievements relevant to the position. Talk about specific
achievements!
9) Be honest
There really is no point lying about your background and/or skills. If
you get caught, or even manage to get away with it by getting employed
and then get found out, you can be sure you won't be around for long!
Job interviews are about matching needs - if there isn't a good match,
then chances are that the job won't work out.
10) Dont give up
The fact is that you will not be offered every job you applied for,
however perfect you think you may be for it. Feedback from interviews
where you have been turned down can be invaluable for improving future
results. Ask politely if they can give you any feedback. Always
remember that there is a job out there for you somewhere.
GOOD LUCK !
