Each of us sooner or later has to get a job. But this is not always easy. The most important thing is to get an interview. Your main goal is to please your boss and get a job. What do I need to do?
Preparing for the interview
You need to thoroughly prepare for the interview. First of all, you should find out all the information about the company where you are going to get a job. For example, how many years it has existed, what products it offers, some information about employees and managers. The more you learn, the better. But how do you get information? You can find some answers on the company's website (if any), in the media, on the Internet. And of course, you can learn something from the employees of the company themselves. However, remember that the information will be subjective to some extent.
How to get an interview?
Take care of your appearance. You need to be slept, neatly dressed. It's best to wear a suit, and it's not just men. After all, you are unlikely to come across as a conscientious worker if you put on a stretched sweater and frayed jeans. And also pour half a bottle of perfume on yourself.
Don't be late at all. But if it did happen, then apologize and get down to business.
The way you speak also plays a huge role. It is clear that the interview is a huge stress. But try to relax. Your stress will be visible to the employer. In addition, it will negatively affect your speech (you may start to get confused, stutter, etc.). You must speak competently, calmly, with pauses. In addition, your speech should be structured in a logical manner.
Interview questions and answers play an important role. Remember that you will also be asked personal questions to get a better idea of what kind of person you are. If you find a question inappropriate, ask how it relates to the job.
Do not forget that not only you are chosen, but you, too, are looking closely at the place of work. Prepare all questions for the boss in advance, find out more about the organizational issues. After all, not all conditions may be good for you.
Job interview: what topics are optional?
Some topics are taboo in interviews:
- poor financial situation;
- dissatisfaction with the previous bosses;
- health problems;
- family relationships;
- birth of children;
- religion;
- Political Views.
After the interview
After the interview is over, applicants make the mistake of simply thanking the employer and leaving. Of course, he may say that he will contact you shortly. But it is appropriate to ask the interviewer for his or her impression of your conversation.
Specify how long to expect a call. And discuss the possibility of calling yourself.
