Shoot A HomeRun In Any Interview With These 5 tips
Want to ace in an interview and grab the job you have been wanting? Here are 5 tips to succeed –
- Be positive
The main tip to win every interview is by remaining positive. The interviewer can be won over with your positive outlook. And it’s a fact that no manager would want a negative person working under him . So don’t dwell on negative experiences during an interview.Even if the interviewer asks you questions like, “What courses have you liked least?” or “What did you like least about that previous job?” don’t answer the question. Or more specifically, don’t answer it as it’s been asked. Instead, say something like, “Well, actually I’ve found something about all of my classes that I’ve liked. For example, although I found [class] to be very tough, I liked the fact that [positive point about the class]” or “I liked [a previous job] quite a bit, although now I know that I really want to [new job].” - Research the industry and company
Research about the company before sitting in the interview. You probably don’t want to be unknown about the Company you’re applying yourself to. Focus and research on the industry the company is based upon. Appearing in an interview without any knowledge about the company will paste a negative impression on the interviewer. Shoot a Home Run in the interview by talking about the company’s ethics, competitive advantages etc.
3.Prepare for common interview questions.
How to prepare yourself for the interview.Every “how to interview” book has a list of a hundred or more “common interview questions.” Pick any list and think about which questions you’re most likely to encounter, given your age and status . Then prepare your answers so you won’t have to fumble for them during the actual interview. Look for answers on the internet but don’t memorise each sentence line by line. Just take an idea and frame your own answer.
- Bring your resume
When you’re being called for an interview, it’s not necessary that you’ll be informed to bring your resume to the interview. But it’s a duty to take your resume to the interview.If the interviewer has misplaced his or her copy, you’ll save a lot of time (and embarrassment on the interviewer’s part) if you can just pull your extra copy out and hand it over. - Practice
Practice before entering the main game. Practice yourself in front of a mirror . Rehearse before you go to the interview. The best way to rehearse? Get two friends and practice interviewing each other in a “round robin”: one person acts as the observer and the “interviewee” gets feedback from both the observer and the “interviewer.” You can also try to tape record your answer and then play it back to see where you need to improve. Whatever you do, make sure your practice consists of speaking aloud. Rehearsing your answer in your mind won’t cut it.
