TIPS FOR SUCCESSFUL JOB INTERVIEW

TIPS FOR SUCCESSFUL JOB INTERVIEW 

1. Research the Company before going for Interview.

When you get to that interview, you’ll be asked about why you want to join and how you can contribute. Read up on the prospective employer on google.

2. Know your self.

Remember the first impression is the last impression. Demonstrate your capabilities and qualities and how well you can serve them. Don't be overconfident and aggressive. Research yourself, ask yourself what your objectives are, what short-term & long-term goals you have, know your CV and prepare your answers.

3. Practice to be Perfect

You may not know exactly what they’re going to ask you, but you do know they’ll ask you something. Practice the delivery of your speech and improve your compute time by asking a friend to pretend being the interviewer.

on’t ask them to read from a list of questions you’ve prepared—an interview would not go that way. Instead, ask them to come up with how their idea of an interview would go.

4. Competency and transferable skills

Competency skills are the skills matching your job profile and transferable skills are the ones that you have acquired through other jobs and personal activities.

Employers typically use some of the following as their key competencies.

• Teamwork
• Responsibility
• Commitment to career
• Commercial awareness
• Career motivation
• Decision-making
• Communication
• Leadership
• Trustworthiness & Ethics
• Results orientation

5. Interview manners

Mind your manners, when it comes to interviews. Bad manners will definitely be a turn-off. Don't bang the door, shake hand firmly, ask if you can take a seat, sit up straight and do not slouch.

Some basic interview manners include:

• Be prompt when responding to an interview request.
• Be on time for the interview.
• Bring all supporting materials/ documents (as applicable)
• Keep your mobile phone on silent or switched off during the interview so that your full attention is there.
• At the closing, thank the interviewer for the time they spent interviewing with you.
