Strategy of an INTERVIEW

A job interview consists of pleasure and relief. For some job seekers, this also creates anxiety and worry. A good interview can pave the way for a new career, but it requires appropriate preparation to ensure a positive experience. Before the interview we have to prepare ourselves and perform during the interview. After all, the interviewer probably intends to interview several candidates before making a decision. It means we have to overshadow others. If we follow a few important tips, we can succeed.

Carry out research

We should review the company and the position before the interview. Learn more about the history and purpose of the company by reading local newspapers and journals to learn more about the company. Also we can gather information from the senior batches that went for internships. Take a look at the company's website. Some companies publish historical information, a mission statement and recent changes. We can also talk to people in the same industry as well as friends and colleagues who know the business. We should know more about the position we are interviewing. Make sure that we know the qualifications for the job. In this way we can orient our sales pitch to our qualities that best suit for the job.

Answer the practical questions

We need to anticipate what the interviewer is asking from us to do and train us to answer the most likely questions. We can play with friends in the university or family member by asking them to ask questions. Refine our answers by minimizing unnecessary or unprofessional language and try to eliminate nerve breaks, stuttering and other potential problems. Strive for clear and concise answers and avoid getting lost. Do not remember the answers word for word. Instead, develop a thought design for what we want to say

Demonstrate professionalism and trust

When preparing an interview, consider the job and dress accordingly. In most cases we should wear a suit. Avoid being too flashy and wearing too much make-up or jewelry. If we believe that the interview is informal and there is no claim in our stead, contact the company to review it. Make eye contact during the interview. Do not move or dwell. Be confident and yet relaxed. Get in quickly and bring along a copy of your resume, portfolio and all the interviewer requested material.

Show interest

We must express our interest in the position. Do not assume that the interviewer knows that we are interested just because we accepted the interview. Be enthusiastic and explain why we are interested in the job. Ask questions about work and business. Avoid getting bored or tired during the interview. At the end of the interview, ask when we can find out about the employer. It would better if we can write a thank-you message within 48 hours of the interview.
