Job Interview Tips

The second step in getting the job is meeting the potential employer for an interview. The first step that you successfully completed was sending your application and passing the screening process of the company.


The employer probably gets resumes through a variety of sources that can include an ad that was posted, a referral from a friend or a headhunter, or by a person who simply submitted an application by logging onto the company’s website.

After screening these resumes, employers usually make a list of candidates who appear to be qualified. The next step they’ll take will be to call those applicants on their list for an interview.

Here are a few tips that will help in having a successful interview;
• Before going to an interview, it is best to do some research about the company you’re applying to.

• It is also best to practice with a friend or family member some mock questions that the employer will likely ask so you don’t choke during the real interview.

• When you go for an interview, it is best to always arrive 10 to 15 minutes ahead of time. This shows employers that you are punctual and demonstrates a desirable characteristic as being a good
potential employee.

• When meeting an employer, you should bring an extra copy of the resume and other documents that may be needed if asked certain questions. A good example of this is when is architects, graphic designers, and photographers who are professionals in the respective fields have a portfolio of their recently done work which may impress the interviewer.

• It is always best to dress appropriately. This shows the employer sincerity on the part of the applicant applying for the job. Your must have clean finger-nails and hair that’s well groomed for the interview. The outfit worn should be professional. This would mean that shoes must be used to match the outfit. If you typically wear a lot of jewelry, it is advisable to remove and tone it down for the interview.

• When you are in front of the employer, smile and greet the interviewer with a firm (but not bone-crushing) handshake which is always a good start to get the interview moving.

• During the course of the interview, listen very intently to the questions asked. Each must be answered truthfully and confidently to be able to sell yourself effectively to the potential employer.

• Afterwards, you should thank the recruiter for the time that was given to meet for the interview. Then, when you get home, sit down and write a brief Thank-you note.

Here you will find some of the best tips and tricks that you need to help you ace the interview and land the job.

We all know that the economy is brutal - but the key to keep in mind is that because of the jump in unemployment, the job market is getting more fierce by the day!

Over the years I've helped people prepare for their interview I've read quite a few interview preparation guides!  Of the 30 or so that I've read and reviewed, I haven't found any that even gets close to the quality of a guide written by a man named Trevor Kemball titled "Interview Manuscript."

It is a much more in-depth review and preparation for the interview process than I could ever give and we highly recommend it no matter what your skill level or current knowledge is on the subject. In it, Trevor makes it easy for people like you and me to tell the interviewer team exactly what they want to hear and thereby keep yourself on the top of their "call back" list.
