Preparing for your job interview

 

Steps to take to prepare for your interview!

1.      Research the Company

• Understand the company's mission, values, and culture.
• Familiarize yourself with their products or services.
• Know the latest news and updates about the company.
• Find a way to incorporate what you have researched about them in your answers.

2. Understand the Job Role

• Review the job description thoroughly.
• Identify the key skills and qualifications required.
• Prepare examples of how your experience matches the job requirements.

3. Practice Common Interview Questions    

      Please don't just read the answers to the questions. Be sure to answer the questions as naturally as conversing
       with the interviewer.                       

• Tell me about yourself.
• Why do you want to work here?
• What are your strengths and weaknesses?
• Why should we select you and not other and candidates?
• Describe a challenging situation and how you handled it.

4. Dress Appropriately

    Yes, even if you are interviewing virtually, you want to dress appropriately! 

• Choose professional attire that fits the company culture.
• Ensure your clothes are clean and well-pressed.
• Pay attention to grooming and personal hygiene.

5. Bring Necessary Documents

    Even during a virtual interview, you don't want to be looking for documents. Have a copy of your resume ready. In these
    times when we are customizing resumes to roles, it's important you remember what you put on that resume, shall they                  refer to it during your interview. 

• Copies of your resume.
• A list of references.
• Any certificates or portfolios relevant to the job.

6. Plan Your Journey, shall the interview be in person 

If the interview is virtual, be sure to arrive at the virtual room at least 15 minutes before the scheduled time. If you experience any connectivity issues, you can resolve those with plenty of time. It will show them you are punctual if you don't run into any trouble. 

• Know the interview location and how to get there.
• Arrive at least 10-15 minutes early.
• Have a contact number in case of any issues.

7. Follow Up

• Send a thank-you email within 24 hours.
• Reiterate your interest in the position.
