Job interviewing never seems to get any easier—even when you have gone on more interviews than you can count. 1. Here are job interview tips to help prepare you to interview effectively.
Practice
Practice answering interview questions and practice your responses to the typical job interview questions and answers most employers ask. Think of concrete examples you can use to highlight your skills.
Research
Do your homework about the employer and the industry so you are ready for the question what do you know about this company. 2. If you’re not sure of the name, call and ask ahead of the interview. Try to relate what you have learned about the company when answering questions.
3.
Make sure your interview dress is neat, tidy and appropriate for the type of firm you are interviewing with. Bring a nice folder with copies of your resume. Include a pen and paper for note taking.
Be On Time
4. Try to arrive at the interview on time. Being on time means five to ten minutes early. If necessary, take some time to drive to the interview location ahead of time.
Stay Calm
During the job interview try to relax and stay as calm as possible. 5. Maintain eye contact with the interviewer. Listen to the entire question (active listening) before you answer and pay attention.
Show What You Know
Try to relate what you know about the company when answering questions and use examples from your research when answering related questions.
A. Get Ready.
B. Check yourself.
C. Never be late for the interview.
D. Keep it in mind that actions speak louder than words.
E. Know the interviewer’s name and use it during the job interview.
F. However, invest a little time ahead of the interview and it will be much easier to handle.
G. Remember your body languages as much as your answers to the questions.
