Your research should focus on two key areas: 1) General background information about the organization 2) Specific information on the role that you are applying for General information on the organization can be found using several sources. The Internet is an incredibly valuable source of information on the majority of panies – many sites will freely give you almost all the information that you will need for the interview. You can also talk to people you know who work for the organization, or people who are their clients or suppliers. Watch, read, and listen to the news. While you are job searching you should try and monitor current affairs and the business news as often as possible. If an organization has been in the news recently they will expect exceptional candidates to have noticed! Focus on the specific role that you have applied for. Make sure you hold onto the adverts for all jobs that you have applied for, as these summaries for you the key details that employers are looking for. Employers particularly dislike ringing candidates for an interview only to find the candidate can’t even remember applying for the job! Have an understating of the tasks you will be expected to perform in the role and the responsibilities that you might assume. Always obtain a copy of a position description if one is available, it will help you anticipate many of the likely questions. Think about replies to mon questions. While you can’t prepare for all possible questions, some questions appear in almost every interview and employers will expect you to have answers to such questions as: What are your strengths and weaknesses? Why do you want to work for this pany? What do you have to offer us? What are your career goals? What do you see yourself doing in five years from now? Ten years? Why did you choose this career? What does success mean to you? At the end of the first year, if you got this job, how would you measure your success? Are you willing to relocate? How much do you expect to be paid? What are the most important considerations for you in choosing a job? What achievements have given you the most satisfaction? Why? Tell me about a time you were under pressure and how you handled it. Tell us a bit about yourself. While it is not a good idea to rehearse exact answers, it is often useful to practice verbalising possible answers to these mon interview questions, be it to friends, family, or even to the mirror! This will give you greater confidence when answering questions, and it will also help you to evaluate how your answer sounds before you have to put it to the test in front of an actual interview panel. II. Successful Job Interview Tips - Careers-Employment Congratulations! Youve finally landed that job interview youve been waiting for. Now the real work begins! Remember, resumes dont get jobs; they merely get you in the door. Heres how to make your resume e alive and make a good impression. Tell Your Story in 60 Seconds or Less. Believe it or not, one of the biggest stumbling blocks for job candidates is what to say when an interviewer opens with: tell me something about yourself. This is not the time to share where you were born, your love of cats, or how much you hate your last boss! It’s your golden opportunity to make your resume e alive. Your story needs to highlight your top three selling points that are most pertinent (相關(guān)的,切題的) to the job for which you are applying. Support your points with short examples (see below). You may have more selling points, and if the interviewer is interested he or she will ask. Practice telling your story out loud until it’s smooth and concise. Give Specific Examples. For every selling point you’ve listed on your resume, you need at least one strong, specific example to support it. Great at customer service? Wow them with the story of your best customer turnaround. Marketing whiz? Dazzle them with your best campaign. Brilliant puter programmer? Give an example of how you saved someone time, money, or solved a problem. Do Your Research. There’s no excuse for walking in the door unprepared. Check the pany website, read magazine and newspaper stories; talk to friends or current employees. Ask the receptionist for old pany newsletters, scour local business journals. The more you know, the more confidently you can match your skills to the pany’s needs. Think Benefits. No, I’m not talking health and dental here! I mean, why should the pany hire you? What’s in it for them? Most people sit down and start outlining all their needs: salary, hours, driving distance, blah, blah, blah. Fatal mistake. panies are not in the business of handing out something for nothing. So what can you offer that nobody else can? Don’t Be Afraid to Ask Questions. A person who is afraid to ask questions in an interview is one who won’t ask questions on the job. That leads to costly mistakes. You need to ask just as many questions as they do. Start the moment your interview is scheduled. Who will be interviewing you? Find out names and titles. Is there anything special you should prepare? How much time should you expect? During the interview, ask questions that will help you determine if this is a good match. What would a typical day be like? What personality qualities does the pany most value? DO NOT ask about money! Once you’re offered the job, then it’s time to negotiate. Be Consistent. First impressions begin long before meeting face-to-face. Starting with your resume, proofread! A resume with typos broadcasts carelessness. Once you’ve sent your resume, be prepared for a call. Answer your phone professionally and be aware of your voicemail or answering machine message. What does it say about you? Be nice to the receptionist. That person’s opinion can make or break you. Send a Handwritten Thank You Note. A classy move that few people make. Ask for a business card to get the correct spelling and follow up immediately.
