INTERVIEW SKILLS

INTERVIEW SKILLS –

There are a few simple things you may take to improve your chances of interview success. To begin, keep in mind that job interviews should be a two-way conversation. They are not just a tool for employers to use, but they are also a tool for employees to use. They are an opportunity for you to evaluate yourself, but they are also an opportunity for you to evaluate the job. To learn more about the company and determine if there is a match. 

Preparation and practice are essential for a good interview. The following tips will assist you in preparing for an interview: 

 

Self-evaluation: It’s critical that you consider yourself and your past experiences so that you can communicate what you have to offer a potential employer. Think about the following topics: 

 

1. How do your current and previous experience connect to the job? 2. Your present and long-term career objectives. 
2. The abilities you’d like to build or improve. 
3. What skills and expertise do you have to give Priorities in terms of location, salary, and lifestyle You favor certain types of people and places. 
4. Volunteer work, hobbies, and travel are examples of past experiences you may want to highlight. 

Prior to the Interview –

 

1. Look into the company – 

The company’s website is a fantastic place to start. It usually indicates if the company is multinational or domestic, as well as how much money it makes, how many locations it has, and what its primary products are. The bulk of companies take great pride in their websites. “Have you gotten a chance to check at our website?” is likely to be one of the first questions you’ll be asked when you arrive. 

 

2. Role-play interviews 

Make a list of questions you expect to be asked, then have a friend act as an interviewer and direct the questions to you in a mock job interview situation. Don’t stop until you’re certain you can answer each question.

You will feel more at ease and relaxed during the interview if you have practiced it previously. 

 

3. Dress professionally 

Wearing a suit isn’t always necessary in today’s world. Find out what the dress code is for the company where you are going to interview by contacting the HR Manager or your recruiter. Then dress a notch higher. Men can wear dress slacks, a dress shirt, and a sports coat to a business casual event, for example. A skirt and blouse, a pantsuit, or a dress are all options for women. The importance of first impressions cannot be overstated. As a result, if in doubt, always dress conservatively. 

 

4. Arrival 

Try to arrive a few minutes early for your interview. This will allow you time to figure out where you need to go, as well as a few minutes to collect your thoughts. Please don’t be late. Arriving late and having no explanation will doom your chances of impressing an employer. If you find out at the last minute that you will be late for the interview, phone and inform the interviewer. Interviewers are aware that unexpected events can occur. If you phone and let them know you’re running late, you’re never deemed late.

During the Interview –

1. First impressions – It only takes thirty seconds to make a first impression. Building rapport requires making direct and sustained eye contact, a solid handshake, a pleasant smile, decent posture, and confidently presenting yourself. It’s crucial to have a well-groomed, professional appearance. Whether the interviewer is a woman or a guy, greet them with a firm handshake. (There’s nothing worse than a shaky handshake.) When shaking hands, make sure to keep eye contact.

2. Smile – A candidate’s smile conveys confidence. Make an effort to smile frequently. Also, when answering questions, don’t be scared to utilize some hand animation. This indicates a candidate’s excitement.

3. Body Language – Use good posture and look the interviewer in the eyes. Straighten your spine. Never, ever slouch.
4. Speak Clearly – Don’t slur, speak clearly. It conveys a sense of insecurity. Speak with confidence. This shows self-assurance. 
5. Listen Carefully – Allow the employer to initiate the interview, but be ready with some opening remarks or questions, such as “I understand that this position entails…” or “What are you looking for in a job candidate?” Make certain you comprehend the question. If not, request clarification from the interviewer. Don’t be scared to pause and consider your response. Someone who thinks about an answer before speaking impresses interviewers. 
6. Provide succinct responses – Keep your responses brief and to the point. Rambling usually indicates that you don’t know the solution to the question(s) posed. 
7. Former Employers – Never, ever, ever mention anything negative about yourself or your current situation. Employers in the past found a way to like someone, no matter how much you loathe them to put a good spin on your experiences. 
8. Be Honest – If you’re asked about something you haven’t done, don’t lie. “Tell us about it,” will be the next inquiry. 
9. Know Your CV – Be ready to discuss every detail listed on your resume. On their resumes, many people exaggerate their achievements. Avoid this, because the only information an interviewer knows about you is the CV you submit ahead of time. 
10. Maintain a professional demeanor – Towards the end of an interview, the two sides may begin to feel at ease with each other. Don’t let your relaxed mood tempt you into telling them something personal about yourself that they shouldn’t know. Maintain a professional demeanor at all times. 
11. Look for something in common – In the past, this has provided us an advantage. Make an effort to connect with your interviewer on a personal level. If you’re being questioned at an office, take a look at how it’s set up. Look for anything with which you can connect. Is his or her college diploma displayed prominently on the wall? Did you go to a nearby school or one in the same Division as you? If that’s the case, make a quick remark about it: “Are you a Penn State alum? The University of Michigan was my alma mater. What a fantastic football conference it is.” 

Interviewers are sometimes more at ease with those with whom they share a common interest. This strategy has helped a number of candidates beat out other eligible contenders for positions. Above everything, Be truthful in your actions.

After the Interview –

1. Back in touch – Ask the interviewer when she or he expects to hear back from you on her or his decision. 
2. Get Everyone’s Business Card – Before you leave, make sure you collect the business cards of everyone you meet. If you’re unable to do so, inquire for their names and e-mail addresses from a secretary. 

3.Thank the Interviewer – Before departing, thank the interviewer verbally for taking the time to interview you. Send thank-you messages to all of the interviewers you spoke with within a day. This does not have to be a handwritten letter sent by snail mail; an emailed thank-you will suffice. 

4. Do not give up – You may realize within the first 10 minutes of an interview that the position is not one you want to pursue. Don’t give up on the interview if you start to feel this way. Continue to conduct interviews as though the position were the most important thing in the world. This will prepare you for your next interview, which may be for your ideal job! Although not all interviews result in job offers, if you treat each one as if it were the most important interview you’ve ever had, you’ll come out on top. 

Additional tips – 

• Make an effort to speak in a cheerful, upbeat manner. 
• If you’re asked to describe a flaw, focus on the lessons you’ve learned rather than the unfavorable aspects. 
• Make a list of three or four essential points about your personal characteristics, skills you’ve learned, and relevant experiences that suggest you’d be a good fit for the job. • Use personal instances from your experience to convey essential points about yourself, rather than general examples. 
• Focus on experiences that exhibit flexibility, adaptability, responsibility, progress, achievement, innovation, initiative, and leadership when answering questions. •If the interviewer marks the end and asks for questions, yet you haven’t covered any crucial aspects, remark, “There are a few points I’d like to discuss.” 

Write a brief thank you letter after the interview. Express your gratitude for the opportunity to interview and learn more about the company, reaffirm your interest, and underline how your history and skills can be useful to the company.
