When you go to interview for a job, you have to be well prepared long before the meeting.
In this article you will learn why you should complete a basic but important checklist before you step into the interview. You will need extra time to collect some important research, confirmed prescribed facts,supporting documents and references.
Confirming facts
Who will take your interview and confirm what their role and position is in the recruitment process. Your interviewors may include more than one person. There will need to be all the people present in the room addressing your answer, if you know who is there,you can do some people on your side with definite answers based on their role.
You make sure that the person you will be reporting and the people you want to work with are present. Even if they are not there, you can do more research about them and gather information. This information will help you choose your qualifications that match their working style. You can also include it in your sales pitch.
Using Social Media
If you're using a work-related social media site like LinkedIn to research your interviewers, don't forget to update your profile. The person you are doing research can see your profile in return
Vocabulary for Interview
If you are joining a phone interview, and you are given a dial in number and password, don't forget to keep it close. If you are doing a Skype interview, make sure that you activate your account within the stipulated time for the interview and the interviewer knows the technical information (such as your ID) to reach you.
Knowing who will be in the interview room
- You will only be frightened. It's better not to know and expect the best when you're there.(Who is in the interview room already knows that it gives you the opportunity to use your strength according to your needs and desires based on their interview style or experience.)
- Allows you to prepare for a range of interview formats and styles
- (There will only be confusion about who you need to answer)
- You need to address all people, but more knowledge will help you focus on your answer for different people.(This is not important, but it's very important to help you prepare for the style and series of questions you ask.) )
Copies of resume
You'll need your latest resume and other supporting documents for distribution, even if you've already mailed them. You can give a sample of your work that introduces you further, now is the time to make sure they are in perfect condition and ready to submit during the interview. If you are presenting anything on a digital device or computer, make sure all the technical aspects for the interview are in order.
Suggestion:
You don't need to show samples of all your work. Choose considering some of the best representations of your talent and skills.
Weave your resume
Do not forget to make changes in the resume for the job you are applying. Review the job description and required qualifications. Change your resume to highlight the previous work experience related to the new post,and edit other experiences that are not relevant.
Is sending your resume with your application enough?
You should keep additional copies of the resume with you to distribute in the interview. You can't always trust everyone to have a printed copy.
Reference
You need to be prepared to provide reference if you are asked to do so. Take time before the interview to consider who will be the best professional reference to recommend you for this particular job. Who will be able to impress the interviewer? Who can give an example of your strength while talking about your professional settings?
You would like to be assured that in a phone conversation with an interviewer they can express it orally, in an informal meeting or in a written recommendation letter.
Suggestion:
Your reference should be professional and be related to the area in which you are negotiating for a job and have worked with you in the past. Choose people who admire your strength and are eager to share your positive thoughts towards you.
The best references are
- Your Parents
Yes, they know you for the longest time,but avoid using family members as a reference, unless you are doing business with them.
- Your last boss
If you do not believe that they will give you an excellent reference, you are not obliged to use the previous boss as a reference.
- Your partner who has a very important job
Your close to you who trust you and have done a fantastic job may be tempting to use them, but it will be considered a biased opinion and will be against you.
-People in your profession who have had direct experience with you and admire your strength.
Contacting Reference
Plan time to contact your new and old references. Give them information about your interview and get support and contact information from them. Tell them the name of the person who can contact in the near future.
You should not provide references unless the interviewer asks to do so, it is very good to prepare them. Don't forget to tell your reference as to why you want to do a job and you are eligible for it. This will help them to decide why you are the right candidate and should be contacted. Remember, if you are excited they will too.
Suggestion:
Trust in your instincts. If you believe that you are apprehensive about giving you a suitable report by reference, do not use them, even if they have agreed to help you. Thank them for giving their time and go ahead.
When contacting professional reference:
- Make sure you use them no matter what
- Of course someone has agreed to the reference, if you feel that he will not give you a bright report, you are not obliged to use them.
- Work during interview you don't need to waste your time explaining the job
- Give them a brief description of the work and why you are the right candidate for it, it is enough to convince them that you are qualified if they are contacted.
- Tell us why you are excited about the job
- If you are excited about the post and have been contacted by the interviewer, they will feel good to recommend you.
