Do you have job interview about to happen? Here are 5 tips on how to plan for your job interview.
Tip #1 - Research- Firms now have websites that specify a plenitude of lowdown about their background. Take it further and try to acquire the company on social media outlets such as Facebook, Twitter, and/or LinkedIn. The night before your interview, spend 20-30 minutes researching the company's history, purpose, news releases, deeds, public relations, cause, and services. The interviewer will be impressed that you took the time to study about them.
Tip #2 - Have Down Pat Your Resume - Read up your resume and know it inside and out. There's nothing poorer than not aware what's penned on your resume and having to regularly stare down at your resume when digging for answers. You wrote your resume, you should be acquainted with it!
Tip #3 - Suit up to Dazzle - Don't wait until the last minute to find something to spruce up. I've seen applicants come to interviews wearing a blouse so wrinkled that it looked like it was rolled up in a ball. Also, as I discussed under Tip #1, be familiar with the company's background. Don't dress in a suit if you're going to interview with an action sports or surf organization. At the same time, don't be dressed in a shorts and sandals if you're going to interview with a financial services organization.
Tip #4 - Be On Time - You can never have a second first impression. Don't show up late to a job interview! If you live in an area where traffic is severe, take off early! If you live in a city with harsh weather, depart early! Regardless if you own a GPS in your automobile, print a hard copy of the directions in the event your GPS dies on you. If you have the opportunity, a day in advance of your interview, do a dry run and drive by their building. That way, you limit any risk in having a difficult time finding the location on the day of your interview. I've seen folks show up at the last minute to an interview and boy did they look extremely tired!
Tip #5 - Role Play - It may sound dull but role playing an interview is like a practice session before a play or musical. You can without a doubt acquire a list of interview questions online, print it out and present it to a family member, classmate, or significant other. Have the individual ask you the questions and role play the interview with them. You'll find that on the day of your interview, the answers will ooze out of you with ease!
Follow these painless five steps ahead of your next interview and we promise you that you'll see an immediate change with your job interviews. I've prepared hundreds of applicants for their interviews and never has anyone complained to me that it was a waste of time.
