Before interviews, many of us experience anxiety. Even good specialists do not always manage to tell about their knowledge and skills correctly. In addition, sometimes it happens that HR managers ask the wrong questions, the answer to which will really show us our best side. However, there are a few rules that can help you build the right interview conversation.
Instructions
Step 1
Imagine yourself as your potential employer. He needs, for example, to find a lawyer for projects in the field of real estate transactions with experience of three years or more. What can be most important to him? First, what kind of real estate transactions did the candidate work with? There are lawyers who for many years have been doing about the same thing (for example, support of transactions for the lease of real estate), and there are those who have gradually worked with different types of such transactions. Secondly, it is important for him which companies you worked for. It is no secret that there are companies that are highly quoted in the market, and there are those where work for a serious employer can only bring a smile. Surely the employer looked at your resume before the interview, but he cannot remember everything. It is necessary to tell about it.
Step 2
There are also other important points. The results of your work and your achievements are of great importance. It is imperative to talk about them, making sure, however, that it does not look like boasting. It should definitely be mentioned if you have references from previous employers as many employers are interested in this.
Step 3
If you received additional education or did an internship abroad, this should be mentioned. Even if this education or internship is not very useful for you in this workplace, having an additional diploma will show the applicant as an ambitious and purposeful person.
Step 4
In most cases, the employer will be interested in rather personal aspects of your life - for example, are you married, have children, what hobbies do you have. Do not be afraid of this or consider it an interference with your privacy. These questions can turn out to be really important: an applicant with small children will probably often ask to let her go early from work or take time off, and if the work schedule in the company is busy, there are frequent overtime, then it will not be profitable for the employer to let her go often, as well as for herself. would not be comfortable working for such a company. Lying is out of place here.
Step 5
Correctly telling about yourself at an interview means not only correctly answering the questions posed, but also asking your own. Firstly, it is important for the applicant: it is better to immediately learn more about the company and work in it. Secondly, the employer will be impressed by an active applicant who is interested in the company and work, and not by someone who will simply come to sit for a set period of time.
