Interviews
are an important part of the job hunting process and in order to
get the job you want, you will have to face many interviews. Have
a look at our Interview Advice articles section for some tips.
1. You are at
the interview because the employer wants you there. It’s not
goodwill, or charity – you earned the right to be there, so
be confident in your abilities – you’ve just overcome
the first step!
2.
Go into the interview, smile and shake the hands of the people who
will be employing you. And for the love of God, try to remember their
names!
3. Be relaxed – especially important if the job you are going
for requires client or customer contact – if you cant be relaxed
while being interviewed, you will not get a customer / client related
job.
4. Think of something interesting to ask them. If it’s a large
company that has been in the press recently, then ask about it –
read up on industry and sector news – it shows that you are
keeping up to date with new developments and that you’re on
the ball.
5.
Try to relate your existing skills to the role that you are applying
for (eg, “oh yes, I did a similar thing at school/college/uni/a
previous job…….”).
6. Sell yourself. You are offering them a service, which they will
have to pay you for. They are your customers. Go get them tiger!
7. If you screw it up or for whatever reason you don’t get the
job – chalk it up to experience and move on to the next interview.
Don’t let it set you back. Interview skills are learned and
developed through experience, so don’t dwell on your failures
– but do learn from them!
Good Luck!
