Jobs Vacancies And Your Interview
The second step in getting the job is meeting the potential employer for an interview. The first step was writing a CV and passing the screening process at the businesses you applied to.
There are a number of ways that a CV will reach an employer, either through a website where the jobs vacancies were posted, a referral from a fellow business manager, through a head hunter or simply by having it sent directly to them.
When you have a job interview, remember these following tips.;
Before the day of your interview make sure you have done your homework on the history of the company and their future plans if these are available.
You might like to think about questions that you will be asked, which can be found on job websites, and have a friend or family member practise your responses.
When you go for an interview, it is best to always arrive 10 to 15 minutes ahead of time as this shows employers that the person is punctual and serves as a good attribute in a potential employee, but don’t be too early.
You should take a copy of your CV to the interview in case you are asked any specific questions about what you have written. A good example is architects and photographers who are professionals in the respective fields who have a portfolio of the works done which may impress the interviewer.
It is always best to dress appropriately. An employer will not be convinced that you are sincere about the job if you turn up underdressed or scruffy. One must have finger-nails and hair well groomed for the interview. The outfit worn should be professional. Your shoes should be smart and try not to draw attention to them. Do not put on too much jewellery either.
You need to start your interview off in a positive manner so give a warm smile and firm handshake to your interviewer.
During the course of the interview, listen very well to the questions asked. make sure you do not lie but be confident with your skills and experience so you present the best of yourself.
End the interview with a thank you and say you hope to hear from them shortly.
