Whether it’s a face-to-face job interview or a telephone interview, how you prepare for a job interview is the most influential aspect of whether you actually do well in the job interview, or just do ‘okay.’ Control the outcome. Don’t leave any of it to chance. Study. Prepare. Anticipate. Your confidence will rise & your nervousness will lessen if you are fully prepared by having pre-fabricated answers for critical questions that you know will be asked during the job interview. Be ready for your next job interview, & the outcome might surprise you.First of all, research the company. If the next job you seek is meant to be a career position, then you need to know all you can about the employer, & about the specific job that you are pursuing. Those notes will tell you & help lead you to understand the sort of skills & know-how the employer will be seeking.
Too often, job seekers go into a job interview with an idea that sounds something like this: “Just get me in front of the person who does the hiring and I’ll impress them;” huge mistake. More often than not, what you believe to be important about your skills & experience is not exactly matched to what the employer needs to solve their immediate problems – in other words, your idea of what is impressive or important doesn’t fit the employer’s. Thusly, you are seen as a weak or secondary candidate for that job.The best way to approach any sort of job interview is to know in advance, through research, what problems the employer is trying to solve in their business by hiring for the position you seek. Once you answer the “employer’s problems” question, the primary skills & experiences the interviewer will discuss with you will become evident, & you can prepare to answer them thoroughly. Your thorough answers will cause you to be seen as the leading job candidate.Article Source: http://EzineArticles.com/828998
