Interviewing Tips and Techniques

How do applicants convey confidence in their capabilities, skills, and accomplishments, while answering the interviewer's questions? Remember employers know what they want in employees! They want efficiency minded, economical, high energy and personable people, able to follow policies, while working with little supervision to complete tasks: with high motivation levels, drive, determination and confidence.

The interviewer's questions are normally trying to discover your capabilities in these areas, as well as, probably a specific skill or experience you have that they require. Each of your answers must be given with these points in mind and not simply encaging in friendly conversation. All your responses are being evaluated for their needs, so make sure you understand what their asking for in their questions.

My suggestion is to respond to general open ended questions from a interviewer with a question of your own that will narrow the subject to a question you can answer briefly and succinctly without taking 25 minutes to explain your answer and still miss the purpose of the question. For instance, if the interviewer asks "tell me about yourself" your response should be a question that helps you to narrow in on the specific area their looking for. Your question should try to dissect the interviews question by asking "can I ask if your question is concerning the type of person I am, my personal background and education or more related to my prior work experience. They may say all the above, but at least you know your responses are on target and to the point. Always be positive with your responses and take time to smile.

When you ask questions it establishes that you want to respond in the correct manner without wasting time. Your answers to questions should stay within 5 minute, as long explanations tend to be boring and far more data than they wanted to know. Chances are the interview will be more specific with other questions you will be asked. By asking questions you can also control parts of the interview. An example "It would be helpful you could explain to me the primary skills and tasks required of this position and its responsibilities. It would help you to explain how your background and experience would be a benefit to the company.

By asking these types of questions it gives you valuable information to structure your answers with the maximum impact. Your can explain the benefits to the company by hiring you and your experience in solving the business problem their trying to solve.

Don't forget to have questions of your own to demonstrate you interest in the company and the position. Questions about their industry, market share, benefits and even why is the position open are normally welcome, but stay away from questions about your salary unless they raise them. Let them know you have taken the time to research the company through your questions.
