If you were told that there would be a series of interviews for a job, you may be about to go through two to three interviews. The first round of cross examination may be conducted over the phone or in person.
The second round of screening may be done in an office with a bigger boss, or you may find yourself in front of a board of people.
On that note, let’s look at how to get through the first round of interviews. If your initial meeting with your potential employer is over the phone, make sure that you are well prepared.
You can do this by making sure that you are well awake in case the call comes to you early in the morning.
You want to make sure your voice box is warmed up and not crackling. If you are experiencing a cold, you will want to eat some hot soup and take a hot shower to clear up your sinuses.
Next, prepare an “About Me” script for your introduction.

Being that the person conducting the interview cannot see you, they may ask you about yourself as a warm up question. Be ready to talk about who you are and what you have accomplished in 60 seconds or less.
Also, make sure you have a resume in front of you.
This way when you are solicited about your job experiences, you will be able to tell them about different positions you have held. You will also be able to explain how long you held the position(s) and with which company it was without having to think.
If your first meeting with your prospective employer is held in person, make sure you are dressed well. Anything business casual and above should work, depending on the position. Obviously, if the position you are going for is more prestigious, you will want to dress more formally.
However, do not dress too formal and put on a tuxedo (for men) or a gown that you would wear to a prom or ball (for women).
Whether the interview is held over the phone or in person, do some research on the company’s history. This would be good to know in case you are asked why you would like to work for the company. You can talk about the company’s growth over the years and how you plan to contribute.
Last but not the least, have some questions for the interviewer. Questions about what a typical workday consists of and does the company have education benefits will make you standout when inquiring about them.
There you have it ladies and gentlemen; what to expect in your initial round of being prospected. With that, get yourself ready to make it through your first meeting with your prospective employer.
