So what ever type of jobs you apply for, you
will probably need to attend an interview!
#3: PREPARING FOR A JOB INTERVIEW
Most of us dread the idea of interviews, but don’t worry, a bit of preparation will triple your chances of success!
Just follow the following tips.
#4: BEFORE THE INTERVIEW
Find out as much as you can about the
employer and the job – check out Career
Ideas for general information on the job.
Does the company have a website or
brochure?
#4: BEFORE THE INTERVIEW
Check whether you will need to do a presentation or sit any psychometric tests as part of the interview.
Re-read your application form or CV - focus
on your skills, experiences and what you can
offer the employer.
#6: BEFORE THE INTERVIEW
Read over the job description carefully - mark
any sections you want to know more about, so
that you can ask about them at the interview.
#7: BEFORE THE INTERVIEW
Think of the questions you might be asked and practise your answers - you could do
this in front of a mirror, so you can look at your body language e.g.
Why do you want this job?
What relevant experience do you have?
Name one of your weaknesses?
#8: BEFORE THE INTERVIEW
Prepare some questions that you would
like to ask the employer e.g.
What are the training do you offer?
How many hours would I need to work?
#9: BEFORE THE INTERVIEW
Plan how to get to the interview and how
long it will take. Decide what to wear, remember first impressions is best. Be smart but
comfortable.
Arrive early so you don’t have to rush. If you are late call and explain why.
#10: DURING THE INTERVIEW
Smile and look interested.
Give yourself time to think before you
answer questions.
Keep your answers simple and clear –
don’t waffle!
#11: DURING THE INTERVIEW
If you don’t understand a question, ask for it to be repeated.
Take a copy of relevant documents like your CV, application form or record of achievement so you can refer to them if
necessary.
#12: DURING THE INTERVIEW
Be yourself - the interviewer wants to
know who you are and how you would fit in.
Be confident and sell yourself - confident
people inspire confidence in others. If you feel confident and respect your own worth,
this will come across to the employer.
#13: DURING THE INTERVIEW
Remember your body language - keep eye
contact and don’t create barriers e.g. by folding your arms.
An interview is a two way process, so ask
at least one question. This shows you are interested and can use your initiative.
#14: AFTER THE INTERVIEW
Evaluate what went well and what you
could have done better.
Whether you are successful or not, ask the
employer for some feedback on your interview.
If you don’t succeed this time, don’t give up. You could be successful next time around!
CONCLUSION
Prepare well (dress, how long will it take
you to get to interview?).
Do some research into the company.
Anticipate key questions.
Prepare answers to anticipated questions.
Prepare questions to ask based on your
research.
Be yourself!!!!
