Preparation for the meeting
First of all, preparing for an interview, you need to tune in to the right way. Do not imagine an interview as torture. You go to a conversation between two equal faces! After all, you are not asking for alms, but offering your professional knowledge and experience. Do not clamp yourself, but, on the contrary, do not be embarrassed to show your business qualities. Show me what makes you better than the rest! Do not forget to take the following things with you for an interview:
- originals and copies of certificates and certificates confirming your specialty;
- letters of recommendation, as well as contacts of those who gave them to you;
- Portfolio (articles, photos and so on);
- stationery (it will look ridiculous, if you do not even have a pen).
Good speech
The interview is in other words self-presentation. Know that the employer not only looks through the resume and portfolio. He also listens very carefully, as you say. Therefore, at least a week before the meeting begin to wean yourself away from all sorts of slang "Tipo" and parasites "like". At the interview it is desirable that they do not sound.
If you are very worried and feel that this prevents you from building a normal dialogue, then do not be afraid to say this. After all, one confession will help you cope with the surging emotions. But also it is not necessary to go into details about the achievements or other things. Do not make the other person feel that you can be very much. First of all, concentrate on your business qualities.
In the price - individuality
At the interview, be yourself. Understand that many, trying to make a good impression, try to make an ideal of themselves, re-read many tips on how to behave in an interview. And in the end they behave the same way. Do not look for an object to follow. Maybe you just have those very qualities that the leadership wants so much to see in its new employee. Yes, and in the end, we are all people. Naturalness always has more to itself than an affectiveness.
Traverse the traps correctly
In many organizations, recourse to covert testing is increasingly used to test how a person can behave in unusual situations. You must be ready for this! We have already considered above that you should not be too chatty. Your answer to the question asked by the personnel officer should not exceed one or two minutes. If the interviewer nods to you in response and inspires an attentive listener, this does not mean that you can talk endlessly. Remember that this way you can give information more than necessary.
You can also be tested for stress resistance. For example, you are asked at an interview, you answer. But the interlocutor says that you do not understand. After the next response, the same reaction. Do not lose self-control in this situation. This situation does not mean that you are saying something wrong or incomprehensible. Just calmly clarify what exactly the interviewer did not understand, and explain again. Most of all, silence and silence lead to an embarrassing situation. In the event that your employer does not hurry to ask the next question, after pausing, ask yourself sincerely if you can add anything to the said.
Speak, do not hide anything
At the interview, it's better not to lie and do not hide anything, and then suddenly you'll casually say something. In addition, there are specialists who accurately determine whether a person is lying or not. Therefore, even if you are dismissed from your previous job, do not be afraid to say so. In our time this is not something unforgivable. The employer is well aware that there are many reasons to go, for example, you were not happy with the salary. But this is not an excuse to respond about the previous work poorly. Even if there, in fact, it was unbearable. It is not necessary to dedicate the interlocutor to the details of relations and all sorts of quarrels with former colleagues. Try to reduce the former work to the phrase: "I gained good experience and I am confident that now I will work even better and more productive." Do not be embarrassed to start a conversation and about the salary, so that after employment, do not get disappointed. Only raise this issue at a time when you are sure that your employer is interested in you.
At last
Do not forget to thank the interlocutor for the time given to you. You from the very beginning will prove yourself as a well-bred person. And one more tip: do not take the interview too seriously. If you were not accepted in one place or disagreed with you, this does not mean that the other option will be the same. Defined in advance, preparing for an interview, than you are better than others. What business qualities may be of most interest to the employer. Do not be afraid - and you will succeed!
