Planning and Preparing Your Interview Success
Why do so many interviews end in disappointment
?
Well, there are a number of reasons for that.
On the positive side, your interview could well have been perfectly satisfactory, you made a good impression, but you didn't get the job.
On the negative side, perhaps you didn't answer the questions very well. Perhaps you fluffed the answer to, 'Did you find us without any problems today?'
Whether positive or negative, you have to recognise a number of things about the current climate. There is a surfeit of outstanding candidates in the market place. At least 30% of those challenging for the best jobs, already have a good job. In a recession, it is very much a buyer's market. Demand is high, supply is tight and employers can be incredibly choosy about whom they employ.
That said there is an interesting change in the market these days. There are a large number of highly qualified, highly motivated and highly experienced people out of work through no fault of their own. So how and why do people less qualified, less talented and less experienced manage to obtain the best jobs?
The answer is planning and preparation. It's the best prepared candidates that succeed. Those that can really use their personality to great affect and ally it to strong persuasion skills.
So how do you prepare? That's easy. Research your prospective company on the world wide web. Check your contacts; find any friends who are staff or ex-staff. Do you know any of the company's clients or competitors? Find out about your prospective company at all costs. Look up recent press releases and Companies House information. What products and services do they supply? What is their major market? And what are they renowned for? Have they ever been researched by companies like Which? Have a look on FT.com or Nasdaq.com. Have there been any financial analyst reports recently?
That type of preparation and planning will help you exude confidence when you walk into the interview room. There are few things worse than not having bothered to study your prospective company's profile. There is so much information in the public domain these days about large companies. Even small companies have web sites where it's possible to get a flavour of their size, services and products.
This kind of research is invaluable in helping your interviewers come to the correct decision that you are the ideal and best prepared candidate.
