Preparing For An Interview
Follow these tips and tricks to help you make a great first impression:
1. Research the company and position you are applying for: This will help you understand the company culture and the responsibilities of the job.
2. Review your resume and cover letter: Be prepared to discuss your experience and how it relates to the position. Make sure your resume is up-to-date and accurately reflects your skills and experience.
3. Dress professionally and appropriately: Make sure your attire is professional and appropriate for the company culture and the position you are applying for.
4. Plan to arrive early to the interview location: Arriving early will give you time to compose yourself and ensure that you are not late.
5. Bring copies of your resume, a notepad and pen: This will show that you are prepared and organized.
6. Practice good body language: Maintain eye contact and sit up straight. This will help you appear confident and engaged during the interview
7. Prepare answers to common interview questions: Practice your responses to common questions such as your strengths, weaknesses, and why you want the job. This will help you feel more confident and prepared during the interview.
8. Prepare questions to ask the interviewer about the company and position: This will show that you are interested in the job and have done your research.
9. Be prepared to discuss your salary expectations: Research the industry standard for the position and be prepared to negotiate if necessary. Note, it still may not be the time for you to ask about salary yet. If you want to broach this topic, bring it up sensitively.
10. Be yourself: Let your personality shine through. Employers want to hire someone who is not only qualified for the job but also a good fit for the company culture.
11. Follow up with a thank-you email: A quick email or note after the interview will show that you appreciate the interviewer’s time and are still interested in the job.
