Interview Tips And Advice On Passing Any Interview

In this article we will take a look at some important aspects that will help you to successfully pass any interview.

Most employers are seeking people who are confident, reliable, enthusiastic, motivated, hard working, committed and loyal. By understanding what an interview panel are looking for in a successful candidate you will be increasing your chances of success dramatically. Before I go into any interview, I always try to put myself in the shoes of the interviewer. What are they looking for in an employee, what are the key qualities required to perform the role, and what does the job description say? Once I have the answer to these questions, then I can start to prepare effectively for the interview.

What is an interview?

An interview is a tool used by the employer to assess a candidate's potential to perform a role. Unless you are an internal applicant who is seeking a promotion or sideways move, the interview will normally be the first time that the employer has the opportunity to meet you. They will want to assess whether or not you have the qualities to perform the role competently, the experience that you have so far in a similar role, and also whether they like you as a person and whether you are likely to fit into the team environment.

Many interviews now will be structured around the fact that the interviewer will only assess you against your responses to the questions that are asked of you. This type of approach is more common for roles in the public sector. For example, when I interviewed candidates for positions in the Fire Service, I wasn't permitted to take into account what the interviewee was wearing. He or she could have turned up in jeans or trainers, but I wasn't allowed to take this into consideration when assessing the candidate's motivations for joining. Despite these restrictions, any person who turns up to a job interview in jeans or trainers, unless specifically requested to, doesn't deserve to get the job. Why? Simply because I believe it shows a lack of motivation and commitment for the job, even before they've started.

A job interview is your opportunity to shine. It is your chance to show the employer that you are the person for the job and that you will do all that you can to perform above and beyond expectations if successful. Just by being at the interview you should naturally be enthusiastic about the prospect of working for the company. Why be there, if your heart is not in it? The psychological element of an interview is very important. Preparing emotionally for the interview is just as important as researching the company. Being in the right mindset will help you to perform at your best. There are many things that you can do to ensure you are in the right frame of mind, both immediately prior to the interview, and in the weeks and days leading up to it. Some of these include walking, running, swimming or general exercise, eating healthily and also avoiding alcohol or junk food. To the majority of people, these small changes won't seem worth the effort. However, through personal experience, these small changes can make a massive difference to your mindset and self-confidence.

By following the aboce advice you will be able to answer difficult interview questions with ease.
