Going For An Interview: Follow These Steps by omoniger(m): 12:37pm On Jul 18, 2006 |
There is more to a job interview than being punctual,dressing appropriately and providing a prospective employer with a copy of your resume/C.V and references. Before you pick up the phone, or send in your resume,prepare mentally for your job search. Remenber, how you feel begets what you think,which governs how you act. Increase your chances of finding a job by following these steps 1.Decide with your whole heart that you want the job before you apply. 2.During the interview, smile and don't be afraid to ask questions. 3.As the interview is coming to a close,ask the interviewer if he or she has any questions for you (i.e demonstrate that you realize there may be points overlooked or not explained fully by you that the interviewer may be hesitant to readdress). 4.Don't appear desperate. 5.Remenber, hiring managers want you to be the best fit for the job ( i.e if you've gotten as far as an interview, they want you to be the one they hire because it means less work for them;so, go in knowing that they're on the same side as you.) 6.Follow up with a thank you note. Quite important. Pay attention to these salient points and you are as good as hired. Culled from "Career corner: How to get a job in a slow Economy," by Yuwanda Black. Good luck!!! |
