chillin'Job interviews never seem to get any easier! No matter if its your first interview, or you're a seasoned interviewee, you will still get nervous before going in. And why not, you're appearing before new faces, marketing yourself and your skills, and often receiving the third degree for everything your know or don't know. Tej Kohli suggests a few job interview tips to guide you to the interview success and help bagging the job you so desire.
Rehearse – Do a interview rehearsal at home. Practice answering some of the most common job interview questions and frame your responses accordingly. Come up will real life examples you can use to demonstrate your skills. Boost your candidateship by proving evidence of your success.
Prepare – Prepare your answers so you're ready to respond the questions quickly and confidently. One of the most commonly asked question is “What do you know about our company? ” make sure you know the interviewer's name and try to use it during the interview. If you don't know the name, call and ask before the interview. Relate everything you know about the company when giving answers.
Dress up well – Always wear neat and tidy clothes to the interview. If possible, stick to formal clothing and carry a nice portfolio with copies of your resume. Bring a pen and notepad for taking notes.
Be on time – Never get late for an interview. Instead reach five to ten minutes prior to the scheduled time. If need be, drive to the interview location a day before the interview, so you know exactly where you're going and how long will it take to reach there.
Stay calm – Relax and stay as calm as you can. Always maintain eye contact with the interviewer. Let the interviewer complete the question before you answer and listen careful – you may regret later if you forget the question.
Show what you know – When describing your career accomplishments relate them to the job profile you're appearing for.
