Interviews are the moment of truth when you find out if you have got a job, - or not! You'll know yourself after an interview. No one needs to tell you that answer! However, it's a nerve racking time waiting.
How do you cope?
Simple, you need to make your interview count. The better your interview, - the better the chance you have of getting the job. There are few tips and interview secrets that you can learn from experience. People like me, who have seen thousands of good interviews and are willing to share their observations, their secrets and the reasons why one person always get the job.
ONE SECRET!
As with most things it's all down to the preparation. The more preparation you do the more confidence you'll exude in an interview. The more confidence you have the better chance the interviewer will feel comfortable with your skills and offer you a job. Sometimes within an hour, - or on the spot!
Preparation is one of the main interview secrets. Before you go to an interview, - make sure you are appropriately dressed. You can always dress down…if the interview is an informal one. Don't be late for the interview. Give yourself time to gather your thoughts, your breath and especially your confidence. Make sure that you give yourself plenty of time to get to the interview location. It always pays to find where you are going well before you need to be there…even the day before go to where the interview will be held.
I can speak from experience; - nerves are the killer when it comes to you and your interview. I've been involved in thousands of interview panels, interviewing individuals and selecting candidates for various types of jobs, across all industries and from a variety of cultures.
I've observed how people prepare themselves inside waiting rooms. I have even asked this question at interviews. "What preparation have you done for this job"? A common trend seems to shine through. It's basic. It's preparation!
Even just prior to an interview focusing on what you are going to do will give you more confidence and focus. It is simple as just revising what you have in your hands, your resume your cover letter, your references. What you have said over the phone and imagine what questions will be asked and your responses. Just a word of warning here! If you're imagining questions and your answers make sure its positively focused. Think of positive questions and your positive response.
I can tell you a whole heap about interviews and how you should prepare, the dos and dont's. Give you an idea what the interview questions are going to be.
