Tips for Great Job Interviews

Research the industry and company.

The recruiter may ask how you perceive his organization's position in its industry, whose competitors are, what its competitive benefits are, and how it should be the best strategy for your organizational position. As a result, don't try to investigate a dozen distinct sectors in depth. Instead, narrow your employment search to a few industries.

Prepare for common interview questions.

There are a hundred or more common questions in the "How to interview" book. You may be wondering, how long these interview questions are if there are that many common questions, so How to prepare? Choose any program and consider which queries you encounter several times, given your age and status (about to graduate, looking for a summer internship). Then prepare predicted questions so you would not have to struggle for them during the actual interview.

Line up your questions for the interviewer.

Bring some rational questions for the recruiter that illustrate your understanding of the organization as well as your seriousness. When interviewers ask whether you have any questions, you should always have one or two prepared. If you respond, "No, not really," he or she could assume you are not interested in the position of the firm.

Practice, practice, practice.

It is one element to come prepared with a thoughtful response to a critical question such as, "Why should we hire you?" It's a very different challenge to deliver it confidently and persuasively out loud. No matter how clear your thoughts are in your head, you will sound jumbled and bewildered the first time you try it! Repeat ten times more, and you will sound much smoother and more expressive. However, you should not practice when you are "on stage" with a recruiter; instead, practice before the interview. The best approach to practice? Get two colleagues and prepare to interview challenges with each other. Whatever you do, make speaking aloud a part of your practice. Rehearsing your response in your head isn't going to cut it.

Be assertive and accept responsibility for the interview

Perhaps out of the struggle to be kind, some generally confident applicants become overly receptive through job interviews. However, courtesy does not imply passivity. An interview is similar to any other discussion in that it is a dance in which you and your partner move together while simultaneously reacting to each other. Ensure that you do not make any mistake of merely waiting for the interviewer to bring up the Nobel Prize. It is your job to ensure that he understands your major selling points.

Do NOT give up!

Do not give up if you had a terrible interview for a job that you genuinely believe would be a perfect fit for you (not merely something you desire desperately). Write a note, call the interviewer or send an email to let her or him perceive that you believe you did a bad act of describing why you consider this job would be a great match. Reiterate how much you have to offer the organization and express an interest in contributing. The firm and you will determine whether or not this technique will result in a job offer. But one thing is certain: if you do not try, you have no chance. We have seen this strategy succeed in the past, and we encourage you to give it another go.
