It's
an inescapable fact that interviews are the "make or
break" factor on whether one lands the job. So it is
surprising to find that most job seekers approach
interviews with a cavalier attitude, without any
preparation - they simply wake up the morning of the
interview, cross their fingers, and hope for the best.
Unfortunately, walking into an interview cold rarely
works.
Don’t
get caught off guard during an interview – PREPARE!
An
interview can be won or lost within seconds,
and by implementing simple strategies, you can vastly
improve your interview performance.
A
successful interview depends in part, on whether you
understand your role and that of the interviewer. As an
interviewee, you have two obligations - (1) to sell your
qualifications and (2) to evaluate the position and leave
the interview with a solid understanding of the job's
requirements. Interviewing is more than just answering
questions; it is about preparing, understanding and
responding to the hiring organizations needs.
Going
in unprepared is a sure-fire way to sabotage an interview.
When it comes down to the wire and it is between you and
another candidate with a similar background, interview
performance will probably be the deciding factor on who
gets hired.
Job offers are not won by accident; time spent preparing
for an interview produces significant results. The more
you practice your interviewing skills the more confidence
you will gain and the more polished your presentation.
