How To Successfully Prepare For a Job Interview
by Ron G. Dickinson
Having a successful job interview isn't that difficult, though it is not just a case of arriving with your CV and hoping for the best. Your main aim during an interview is to sell yourself to the person conducting the interview and the only sure-fire way of doing that is to prepare. Remember that the best salespeople are the ones that do their homework.
It doesn't matter how much knowledge or experience you have about the position that you are trying to get in a company if you don't have a clue who the company is or what they do. It is disastrous to enter into an interview and not be able to tell your interviewer what their company is about. How else are you going to tell them why you feel that you would be a good addition to their company?
An easy way to get imformation about a company is via the internet. Most companies have a website and they usually idescribe all the products and services they provide. Also take note of the key personel and their job titles.
When you are contacted about an interview try to find out the name of the person who will be interviewing you. It looks professional to be able to address them by their name without them having to tell you. It shows you are serious and are someone who does their homework.
It is best, if you are prone to nervousness, to practice giving your responses to the questions that may be asked of you. You should practice your wording and the tone of voice that you plan to use; Try keeping your responses as brief as possible, but with as much detail as you can.
Choose what clothes you are going to wear the day before. This allows you to make sure there are no creases or stains on your clothes. Choose clothing that suits the environment you will be working in. Ladies should avoid anything that shows too much flesh and for men, a dark suit would be good.
The day before the interview get everything ready that you will need. take an extra CV in case you are asked and a pocket notebook which may come in handy. If you have had any business cards printed, take one along, it looks business-like and may prevent the interviewer from forgetting your name.
