INTERVIEW
5 STEPS ON HOW TO PREPARE:
1) re-read the job request and clarify their ideas on what they are likely to want to verify
2) make the list of required skills and record our answer to the hypothetical question that tests each single skill.
What level of knowledge do you have of Excel? Short and concise answers. There is no need to list the certificates, but the practical applications that followed - . I managed with Excel the traces of the interviews with the customers for the Employer Customer Service to highlight the recurring problems, check if there was the answer in the FAQ and understand why many customers call for answers that are already published. A skill put into practice for those who have to give you a job is worth 100 times more than a theoretical certificate.
3) listen again and evaluate if and how to improve.
4) try and try again to present yourself in front of the mirror
5) test with a trusted person - brother, parent, friend, preferably an entrepreneur. An entrepreneur takes risks every day, and knows that mistakes are paid in person, so ask for severity. In the third millennium, competition is global, being competitive and efficient is a necessity.
THE 10 WORST ERRORS IN A JOB INTERVIEW
1. Lack of punctuality It goes without saying that you have to show up in time for the job interview. Personnel managers generally equate lack of punctuality with reliability and this character trait will definitely disqualify you from any job.
2. Negative First Impression In English, there is the wonderful proverb: "You don't have a second chance to make a first impression." It has been scientifically proven that people adapt to other people's first idea in seconds, and this first impression is not easily corrected later on. Therefore, it is extremely important to leave a great first impression in a job interview situation. This means that you should arrive in a good mood at the company, addressing a cordial greeting to ALL your interlocutors. You will often be received by an assistant. It goes without saying that even if this person is not your interlocutor, you should introduce yourself VERY politely.
3. Wrong Dress Code. Before the job interview, you should think about the question of how to dress. It would be extremely embarrassing to face some men in suits if you are wearing a shirt and jeans. In particular, more conservative industries (mainly banks and insurance companies) gives great importance to a rather conservative dress code. In startups in general, feel free to dress more informally.
4. Poor Preparation This advice is also obvious. In the days leading up to your application, gather information about the company and the sector in which it operates. This is especially important for larger companies, which are often featured in the news.
5. Do a self test with a trusted person - brother, parent, friend, preferably an entrepreneur. An entrepreneur takes risks every day, and knows that mistakes are paid in person, so ask for severity. In the third millennium, competition is global, being competitive and efficient is a necessity.
6. Boredom Given the number of job interviews an HR manager conducts each week, the worst interviews are probably those with boring candidates. Quite often, at the beginning of an interview, you may be asked the question: "Can you tell me a little about yourself?" This question makes many candidates sweat, because it is so wonderfully vague. There is no perfect answer to this question: the origins and personalities of the candidates are too diverse. However, we want you to consider the following tip: Don't mechanically recite your resume in such a situation. For sure, the personnel manager read it in advance. Much more interesting and fun is the information between the lines. Give your interlocutors some highlights and anecdotes from your life, which ideally reveal some new or hidden information about you and your character. This will pique your employer's interest and create some additional connecting factors for your conversation.
7. Secrets and lies Secrets and lies certainly have no place in a job interview. Your future employer wants to get an honest and real idea of you. Many candidates feel they need to gloss over specific facts in their resumes or cover up some imperfections. In most cases, this is not a good strategy. Address all problems openly. This always leaves a better impression on an employer. A good example of such a problem is the length of studies or gaps in a resume. If it took you a few more semesters to graduate from college or university, explain the reasons in detail. There is certainly a reasonable explanation (part-time work, second degrees, travel, etc.). The same goes for gaps in your resume. You've certainly done something valuable in that time period, which could be of interest to your employer. Finally, we would like to point out that in a job interview there are also some prohibited questions from the employer. In general, questions regarding private business are not allowed. These include, for example, issues such as family planning, pregnancy, housing or financial situation, and illness. The latter can only be requested if your health is relevant to the job position (e.g. for doctors, nurses or in professions with exposure to toxic substances).
8. Arrogance A job interview is also a publicity event for yourself. Therefore, some degree of self-praise and self-marketing is obviously allowed. However, the line should be drawn where self-marketing turns into arrogance. The arrogant boastful are not well received in any company. Even if you've already accomplished a lot in your life, humility always feels nicer than pretending you're a big shot.
9. Excessive Demands The end of a job interview usually comes down to the core, ie, pay issues. Quite often, companies ask you to define your salary expectations before an interview. Of course, it's unfavorable if your expectations are way above your employer's idea. This signals to the company that you have a different conception of the "added value" that you can bring to the company. Caution is also advised on other matters relating to the compensation package. For example, you should not forcefully apply for a company car if it is not provided by the employer. So, listen carefully to what the company is willing to offer and respond appropriately.
10. Final bad impression This is similar to point 2. As has been shown, the first and last impressions of a conversation are deeper in our memory. This makes it even more important for you to say goodbye to your dialogue partners. While the interview may not have gone so well, don't forget to thank the company representatives for the opportunity to meet them.
Conclusion There are, of course, more than 10 mistakes you can make in a job interview. By far the biggest mistake, however, is the fear of making mistakes. This will be noticed immediately by any personnel manager and you will certainly not collect bonus points for acting unnaturally. Keep in mind that there is neither the perfect candidate for a job nor the perfect job interview. There are always some things that don't go according to plan in an interview. This is not a cause for concern. Your employer will give you a full assessment; there is always the possibility of compensating for negative points in one area with positive points in another. "
