The job interview is your chance to sell yourself to your
prospective employer. It forms the most important aspect of
the application process. It gives the prospective employer
an opportunity to meet you and decide whether you possess
the skills and the personality required for the job. It
allows them to get to know you as a person a little bit
better, and to form an impression about who you are. Since
the impression is formed in about 30 seconds, it is
important that you properly prepare for your job interview
so that you have a better chance of getting the job.
It is important to go for a job interview fully prepared. It
makes a good impression on the prospective employer since it
shows that you care for the job and you have a sincere
attitude. In order to prepare properly you might find the
following tips useful:
When you apply for a job in a certain company you are
expected to know something about it. So, do some research
and find out as much information about the company as is
easily available. Also try to know whom you will be meeting
and the position the person holds in the company. It's also
important to know the nature of the job so that you explain
how you will handle it and what difference you can make. In
addition, research to know what kind of salary people in
similar positions are getting in the company so that you can
quote a realistic amount if asked to state your salary
expectations.
Remember, you're going for an interview, which is not
one-sided. Almost all interviewers ask if you have any
questions. Therefore, you must think of questions you can
ask ahead of time while preparing for your job interview.
Don't ask frivolous questions; your questions should reflect
your understanding about the job and the company. It's good
to come prepared with genuine questions you seek information
on.
It is a good idea to carry a pad, pen or pencil, and a copy
of your resume when you go for the interview. This will help
you take down notes if the need arises, and it shows how
organized you are.
The worst mistake you can make at a job interview is to be
late for it. So, make sure you arrive at least 10 minutes
early. This shows that you are punctual, you value your time
and other's time and it also reflects your keenness for the
job. Employers appreciate an enthusiastic attitude and eager
workers. On the contrary, if you reach late you are judged
as irresponsible.
