Prepare for
the Interview... from Career
Shop.com
- Self-Preparation
- Your goal is
to present yourself as the kind of candidate the employer is
looking for: someone with a good knowledge of self, capabilities
and shortcomings, someone with a clear vision of goals and opportunities.
-
- Research the Employer
- Find out as
much as you can about the potential employer. Doing so will allow
you to match your unique skills and qualifications to the employers
needs. Find out who they are, where they are located, what their
major products/services are, and what kinds of opportunities
they have available. Compose specific questions for the interviewer
based on your research.
-
- Positive Attitude
- Project a favorable
image to the interviewer by arriving early, dressing appropriately,
and behaving in a courteous manner. Be poised and enthusiastic
about your opportunities with the employer, and confident in
your abilities. This helps ensure that you make a good impression,
especially in the first five minutes of the interview, during
which an interviewer frequently determines whether or not you
are a serious candidate.
-
- Interview Awareness
- Prepare for
the kinds of questions the interviewer might ask. Familiarize
yourself with interview questions in general and formulate several
ways you might answer them (see the next section for a list of
commonly asked interview questions). When asked a question, listen
carefully and respond directly. Some interviewers rely heavily
upon body language. Be conscious of your posture and do not shy
away from direct eye contact.
