nterview Preparation

Why is preparation important?

I met a guy who worked for Google, and I asked him how the interview is to attend to get a job. He said, "10 interviews." I asked, "What interview advice will give you a second to pass 10 interviews on Google?" He answered in one word: "preparation."

When the cook to prepare all ingredients before cooking. When we go into the exam in high school teachers always say, "Study hard." When we play a competitive sport, we train hard before the actual game. The same concept applies when attending a job interview, particularly if your dream job, you need to prepare.

I have conducted numerous interviews for a job in my career and my job in HR. Here are my Seven Interview Tips for Interview preparation:

First Do your research on the Company

Many people who attend a job interview does not even do basic research on the company. In conversations I conducted, my first question is always an interview: "What do you know about our company?" And if the answer to that question and then you show that you have done your homework and you're interested in working for the company. Read the vision, mission and company values ​​and see how your personal values ​​align the business value.

Second Do your research on the job

Keep a log or diary jobs you apply for and write down key words so that you can remember the details of jobs. Read the competition and the job description or if you are able to get a hold of one. Requirements of these two documents to show you what interviewers are looking for the ideal candidate.

Third Do your research on the Interviewers

Ask for the interviewer's name and do some research using LinkedIn and search engines. During the interview, using the information you find will help build a stronger relationship with the interviewers. Personally, I got a job offer by using this strategy and it was successful for their clients as well.

4th Read your resume and cover letter

So do research about the company and re-read the contest, and then completely forget to review your resume. It happens. You can get so focused on finding out about the company and then forget to review your resume. Interviewers will go through your resume and there is nothing worse than not being able to recall what was written in your resume and cover letter. Be prepared to talk about the key responsibilities, challenges, achievements and reasons for leaving each role. Always ensure that you communicate your reason for going in a positive way.

5th Source of interview questions related to your field

I strongly suggest the source of interview questions related to your field and prepare answers to all questions. This will definitely reduce any anxiety you are familiar with the issues.

6th Prepare Tools for Success

First impressions count and you only have one chance to make a first impression, so make it positive. Try to interview clothes and ask for a second opinion. Ensure your personal appearance is striking in terms of clean and ironed clothes, which is well groomed and have good personal hygiene. There is nothing worse than two hours before the interview, you realize that your shoes are not polished or you can not fit into their clothes. Preparation is important, so remember to dress for success.

If you want to differentiate among the other candidates, bring something with which you can view the conversation. This could be the presentation of their work on paper, iPad or laptop, or simply color copies of your continue to provide every conversation.

In most job interviews that I conducted, so that many people show up empty-handed because they assume the interviewer will have a copy of your resume. You'll be surprised how many employment agencies arrange to send a version of your resume to the company to ensure all their candidates understand the same. Always a minimum, bring a copy of your resume for each interview.

7th Practice your interview skills

Practice! Practice! Practice! Interviewing is a skill, and it would be good at it, you must practice. You can practice with friends, record your voice or make a video of yourself answering the questions and review your performance.

Alternatively, seek a professional like me to coach you in conversation skills. You'll be surprised at how much more you can achieve. This will certainly increase the chances of you winning your dream job you have been waiting for. In 2011, 80% of my clients secured a job after they got the interview through my coaching business.
