What you need to know!
Going for a job interview can often be an overwhelming and stressful experience. However, it need not be if you are prepared. Remember that an interview is not only for the employer to decide if you are suitable for the job, but also for you to decide if the job will be suitable for you.
Here are 7 hints to keep in mind before going for that all-important interview:
• LOCATION
There is nothing worse than being late for an interview, and there is no need to be. The day before look up the address in the street directory, check on public transport (if necessary) and allow plenty of time to get to your interview.
• RESUME
Take your resume and certificates. This should be in a presentation folder and include only the relevant information.
• GROOMING
Make sure that you select an outfit that makes your feel comfortable and that is appropriate for the role and culture of the organisation you are seeking employment with. Remember first impressions last but you do not have to rush out and buy a new outfit.
• BODY LANGUAGE
Smile upon entry, look the interviewer in the eye and always give him/her a firm handshake. While some nervousness is understandable, beware of slouching in your chair, tapping your feet, nervous laughter and fidgeting.
• RESEARCH
Investigate the company thoroughly by surfing the web, reading the latest annual report, checking news articles, etc. This will show you are serious and enthusiastic about your application.
• QUESTIONS: to ask and be asked.
The key here is to be prepared. If you are asked a question you have not prepared for in advance, take a moment to think through and organise your thoughts before answering. Also, prepare questions to ask about the company or the role. This will emphasise to the employer how interested and enthusiastic you are about the job.
• ASK FOR THE JOB:
If you want the job - ask for it. Look the interviewer in the eye and say "thank you for explaining the position, I feel I have the right skills and I am very interested". Thank the interviewer for his/her time with a firm handshake. Make sure you clarify what follow-up action is to be taken after the interview.
