Top 5 interview tips 1.Getting to the interview This covers 2 main areas, the first area is making sure you actually get a interview by submitting a resume that assures the person hiring wants to meet you face to face, the second is always making sure you are there for your interview at least 15mins before the scheduled time, its better to be early than late as this is your first impression. 2.Prepare yourself One of the main reasons people fail to succeed In their interview is because of their lack of preparation, so find out as much information as you can about the position you are applying for and the company Its within so you are a step ahead of all the other candidates that are applying 3.Dress and hold yourself appropriately Your interview is your first impression with your new employer, so you should want to make a positive a lasting one. Your interview starts as soon as you walk in the building so make sure you are have positive body language and confidence and are well dressed and groomed. 4.Questions The hardest part is once you are inside the interview room and its time to answer the questions which determine wether you are successful or not. So make sure you are prepared by practicing the answers before your interview and tailoring them to the job you are applying for. Here are some of the questions you may come up against. So what makes you suitable for this position? Tell me about yourself? Share with me a time you have had to over come a difference with a co worker? Have you ever been fired? What do you believe to be your biggest weakness and strength? Not only should you be prepared to answer questions, you should also be prepared to ask them. This will give you the opportunity show the employer you are interested and also answer some questions for yourself regarding the role 5.The follow up Dont let the interview be the last time they hear from you. This will ensure that they dont forget who you are and you dont become just another candidate, this can be done a couple of ways, a short quick and polite phone call or a email to follow up on how your application is going, though you need to remember that they are busy and maybe hiring for other positions as well, so be sure not to make it more of a harassment as this will be a negative affect on your application. If your application is unsuccessful be sure to find out why and take it as constructive criticism.
