An interview is perhaps the main test that almost everyone wants to get a prestigious, highly paid job. And if you do not want to “hit the face in the mud”, you should carefully prepare for the interview.
So, you were looking for work, and finally learned that in the company where you would like to work, vacancies were freed. You sent your resume for consideration and waited for a call. The last step remained – an interview. You need to think about how to make a favorable impression on a potential employer.
On the day of the interview, you should feel fresh and rested, so the day before there are no parties, meetings with friends, and so on. If you are sick, you need to warn in advance, and not five minutes before the meeting. According to the rules of good tone, you should come to the meeting in 10 minutes – late will play against you, you will be perceived as an unreliable and irresponsible person. Therefore, to leave the house should take into account possible traffic jams, force majeure.
In addition, you need to carefully consider your wardrobe in advance. Depending on what kind of work you are offered (in a bank or in an architectural company) you need to choose a wardrobe. When choosing a suit, try to imagine in what form the employees of this company go. Your ideas will be clearer if you make sure to find out as much information as possible about the company that invited you for an interview. Use the help of the Internet – if the company is serious, you probably have your own website on the network where you can find all the information you are interested in.
As for the behavior at the interview, it is necessary to behave freely, confidently, but at the same time do not dissect the stick. If you are asked to tell you about yourself, do not go stuck on your shortcomings (trying to be honest), it is better to mention your virtues. At the same time, if the interlocutor says, you need to listen carefully and not interrupt him, even if you have something to say. Wait for him to finish, and only after that speak out your thoughts.
And finally, there is no need to be shy about asking questions. Including about wages. This is a completely normal phenomenon when a person receives money for his work, and it is better to find out in advance the amount of wages – it is possible that he will not suit you. Learn also about the possibility of moving up the service ladder – such a question can be regarded as the desire to move forward, develop, improve.
