A Few Valuable To Get You Through The Interview Stage

Here are a few valuable tips for the all-important job interview

. Lets face it, it all depends on the interview, you have got this far, youve been selected for an interview from probably hundreds job hunters from what is actually written on your CV. It could be your academic qualifications or it could be your experience or just a mix of both.

Now youre at the final selection process, and this is where you have to make a good impression on your new employer. A lot of induviduals, no matter how good they look on paper, in there related field ,will will mess it up at the interview process. Not all of us are good at interviews including me, you need to have silver tongue, to sell yourself, some of us have this gift and some of us dont, it seems unfair but its just the way it is.

Here are a few things you can do to improve your chances at the interview process.

1 Personal presentation: All ways and I mean always turn up for the interview smartly dressed. This is an absolute must, the way you look portrays a lot about you. A scruffily dressed individual portrays the image, that he or she cant be bothered and that is the image that a prospective employer will pick up on in the interview process. If you can buy some new clothes and shoes for this purpose then go out and buy some, they dont have to be designer clothes, just presentable. Pay a visit to the barbers or hair dressers and treat yourself to a haircut, and if you male dont forget to get a shave.

2 Be honest: The worst thing that you could possibly do in an interview is lie, well lie and then get caught out by the interviewer. Apart from making you look like a total fool it will blow your chances of landing the job that you have worked so hard to get, really its not worth it. Some of these big corporate companies employee specially trained interviewers who are as sharp as a razor and will catch you out if your not truthful. Always answer the interviewers questions as accurately and a truthfully as you possibly can. You will come across as a genuine individual and the interviewer will appreciate your honesty, lets face it would you employ a liar.

3 Be Prepared: Before you even step into the interview room, get yourself ready. Read through your CV and memorise it word for word. The interview panel will have a copy of your CV in front of them and will be asking you questions based on the details that it provides. The interview team will be quizzing you, and if they ask you a question that is based on the information that you have supplied via your CV and you give them a wrong answer it will make you look like one of two things, a liar or a fool. Either way it will not do you any favours and will lessen your chances of getting the position.
