The Job Interview
A job interview is your opportunity to present your talents to a prospecti employer. During the interview, the employer judges your qualifications, appearanc and general fitness for the job. Equally important, the interview gives you a chan to evaluate the job, the employer, and the company. The interview helps you decide the job meets your career needs and interests and whether the employer is the ki you want to work for.
To present your qualifications most advantageously, you have to prepare for 1 interview: you should know how to act to make the interview an opportunity to "sc your skills.
Careers officer speaking:
- What makes a good interview? First, good preparation before the intervit Three simple guidelines will help you. Guideline number one is - find out as much possible about the company where you are going for an interview. For example, j can get a lot of useful information from the company's brochures, annual reports, : catalogues. Two, find out if the interview is with one person or with a group people, and what their jobs are. It's very useful to know something about interviewers before you meet them. And three, make a checklist of the questions ; want to ask at the interview. Remember an interview is two-way process, company finds out as much as possible about you, and you find as much as poss about the company.
So, that's what you need to do before the interview.
Now the interview itself. There are seven more guidelines to remember here.
Guideline number four: dress smartly. A suit or something formal is best. Five, ar in good time. Arriving late for the interview is the worst thing you can do. Rule nun six: create a good first impression. First impressions are very important. Start interview with a smile, a firm handshake, and a friendly manner. Guideline nun seven: try to stay positive and relaxed during the interview. I know that's difficult.. rale, people don't feel relaxed, but your body language gives the interviewer a lc information about you. You want that information to be positive. Number eight: don't only "Yes" or "No" answers. Talk freely about yourself, give reasons for your opini and explain why you're interested in the job. Nine: ask questions. Remembei checklist of questions you prepared before the interview. Show you're interested! Fir guideline number ten: learn from the interview. Analyze your performance afterward; think how you can improve the next time!
