Tips to a Job Winning Interview
So
you have made it to the interview stage. You
should feel proud that the employer was
impressed enough to want to conduct a personal
interview. I bet you didn’t realize that
interview is actually latin for “intervede,”
which means “to see about each other.” This is
your opportunity to sell yourself and to find
out if this is the job/position that you want.
The first thing you need to do is relax. Take
3 deep breaths and imagine yourself having a
successful interview, feeling confident, and
acting professional. You may also want to do a
“mock interview” where you practice answering
questions with a partner, this will help to
alleviate some of that nervous tension necessary
for communicating confidence and poise.
For most of us, an interview can bring about
mixed emotions of excitement and fear.
Unfortunately, many people begin to focus on the
fear and begin to worry about everything: What
if I say the wrong thing? What if I make a
mistake? What if I am rejected for the job? All
of this negative thinking can lead to nothing
but negative consequences. So stop worrying!
Since the purpose of the interview is for you
and the interviewer to reach an employment
decision, you can feel comfort in knowing that
you are interviewing them, just as much as they
are interviewing you. Think of the interview as
your opportunity to get to know more about the
position, your potential new supervisor, and the
company. Take advantage of your opportunity by
showing your interest and asking solid
questions.
When it comes to the job interview, there are
four things you need to master, being positive,
being prepared, being personable, and being
professional.

to discover the secret technique used by a few incredibly
successful people to get what they want—and how to master it.
 Positive thinking means believing in yourself
and your abilities. When interviewing, attitude
is everything. If you know you are the best
person for the job, you have a much better
chance of convincing of someone else.
Preparation is the second key ingredient to
successful interviewing. If you come prepared
and ready to get the job, you can impress the
employer with your knowledge about the position,
company, and product. Prior to the big day,
gather all the information you can about the
employer. You can do this by accessing the
employer’s web page, reading annual reports, and
talking with people who work there. There is no
excuse for a poor response to the question:
“What impresses you most about our company?”
Be personable. Be who you are. Laugh, make
jokes if appropriate, make small talk. Build
rapport with him or her. Employers want to hire
people, not robots. By showing your personality,
your genuiness shines through. Not surprisingly,
one of the main reasons people get hired is
because they are likeable.
Finally, be professional. Even if this is
your first time in an interviewing situation,
you can act like you are a pro by dressing
conservatively, answering questions directly,
and maintaining proper nonverbal communication
(leaning forward in your chair and smiling).
This may be their first or last impression of
you, so make it a good one!
After your interview, evaluate how you think
you did and make notes so that you can improve
your next time around. Be sure to follow up with
a thank you note and call within two weeks if
you have not heard from them.
But the biggest secret to who gets hired is
that many times the most qualified person does
not always get the job offer! Why? Because jobs
go to the person who interviews best, who
connects with their interviewer (s) by
establishing rapport, raising their interest,
demonstrating a need, proposing a solution, and
closing the deal. Practice the four P’s to
successful interviewing and you may be the next
one who goes from interviewee to employee.
