Tips For A Successful Job Interview

Job interview is not necessarily about sitting on the 'hot seat' seeking for a job. It can happen anywhere, anytime. Job changes but interview never change. All jobs interviews are the same. 

TIPS FOR A SUCCESSFUL JOB INTERVIEW

==> First Impression Count: - Greet your interviewer with a smile.

 - Give eye contact.

- Sell yourself before anything else. Appear bold  and confident but not arrogant.

==> Go in prepared: - Take time to prepare.

  - Re-read your CV and the job advert before the interview.

  - Do your research thoroughly: check what the company deals in; you can check their website if they have, for vital information about them.         

  -You may be asked about the salary you are after, make research about the maximum salary before going.

==>  Believe in yourself and idea: - Be bold 'It's better to say you need some time to gather your thought rather than speak and regret afterward'.

- Answer questions properly: even if you need a moments silence to collect your thought, do not hesitate to say so.

- Know your purpose.

- Be ready to talk about your knowledge, experience, abilities, and skills. Do not exaggerate but be confident as much as possible.

==> Be positive: interviewer like someone that like challenges. Let them know you always see a happy ending in a tough challenge before it end. Do not say a challenge you can not cope with.

==> Remember your body language: If the chair offered you is not comfortable tell them, so that in your bid to feel comfortable in the uncomfortable chair, you will not appear uncomfortable and scared.

==> Expect the unexpected: - Ask the interviewer to repeat the question if necessary.

  - Sometimes interviewer ask brain teaser questions that often only him know the answer to; other interviewer on the table might not know the answer to the teaser like you. Just be honest with your answer.

==> Remember your manners: The words Please, Sorry, Excuse me, Pardon me, Thank you are important.

==> Look great: appearance matter.

==> Put God first : though it is the last here, it has to be here and before others. Pray before and after.
