From time to time we could all use a little help with updating our interview techniques, whether you're a young buck fresh from school or a hardened veteran from the school of hard knocks in the article below I will try to help you prepare for your interview.
I will share with you some simple tips that will help you on your way to getting the job you want.
Problems you may have experienced?
On the morning of your interview you find that your killer job interview outfit no longer fits and also realise at the same time that perhaps it's time to hit the gym again!
You've arrived on time at the right building, but what you didn't realise was there were 20 different departments within that building and all on different floors.
You could be a nervous rambler, you know exactly how to sell yourself and the skills you have, yet when crunch time comes, your nerves take over and before you know it, you're halfway out the door smiling back whilst saying thank you and goodbye.
Let's get started on being ready!
1. Find out the location of the building you need to attend and if you need to be at a particular part of that building, find out exactly which part of the building your interview is being held at.
2. Plan and time your route to the place you need to be at. I would suggest a couple of days before your actual interview day. The last thing you want to do is turn up late because you arrived at the place on time but it took you a further hour trying to find the department.
Dressing for impressing!
We all have something smart in our wardrobe and if we don't we can often beg and borrow. First impressions last so you want to make a good one by dressing accordingly. By which I mean use your common sense and dress appropriately for your interview.
Just be sure you can attend your interview looking smart, clean and well presented. Which for women generally means hair brushed and maybe some make up (don't plaster it on though - it's a job interview not a night out on the town) just some subtle make up to show you take pride in your appearance will suffice. For men clean-shaven is always the best way to go, and for everyone clean, fresh breath is an absolute must.
You don't need to worry about selling yourself and your skills from the second you walk in the room as you have the interview so your C.V. has covered a lot of the ground work for you already. Your interviewers are already interested in hiring you and now it is time to show them why you are an exact fit for the job advertised. You need to elaborate on your skill sets now that make you the best person for the job.
Bright eyed and bushy-tailed.
Getting a good nights rest before the interview can be tricky as anxious nerves may kick in, scenarios of how the next day may pan out play out like a stuck CD in your head. Meanwhile times ticking away and just as you start to feel exhausted enough to sleep, your alarm goes off, this is never a good start to interview day.
Remember your potential employer will probably not appreciate the 'I've had a sleepless night but drank lots of coffee and energy drinks' look, nor will they appreciate you sounding like your heart is only half in it and you would rather actually have been home in bed. A good nights rest before an interview is a must!
So to help you relax and make you feel that you are actually prepared and are ready for the interview, preparation is the key.
Here is a few tricks I have personally tried and tested that have helped me.
1. Research the job for which you're applying for. This will help your confidence when answering questions about the position at your interview.
2. Practice in front of a mirror either by yourself or with a good friend. The laughs you create will certainly relax your mind, body and soul.
3. A long soak in a hot bath/shower will help you relax. Then just slouch in your favourite pyjamas with a nice cup of tea or hot chocolate afterwards.
All these tips and tricks are methods that I have used and have helped me be successful in gaining employment in my chosen field. I feel sure that they will complement the tools your local recruitment agency have also given you and hopefully will help you gain employment in your chosen field.
