What is a Job interview ?
The employer asks you questions about your career, personality and life and you answer honestly while trying to impress them. Easy, right? Not really - job interviews can be really stressful.However, if you prepare properly for your job interview – and it really is easy to do(!) – then you can get rid of the nerves and show your interviewer why they MUST hire you. And so our interview advice is designed to get you job interview ready…
Five ( 5 ) easy steps and you will stand the best chance of getting a job:
1. Type's Of Interview
There are three main types of interview and when you are offered one they should tell you what to expect…- One-to-one interview – The most common type… You are interviewed by just one person (usually the boss!) and it’s a simple question and answer session.
- Panel interview – A bit scarier… This is where you’re interviewed by more than one person at a time – expect two or more interviewers to be in the room with you.
- Competency interview – The most advanced interview type. You’ll be tested on different situations e.g. ‘tell me about a time when you showed good teamwork’.
2.Knowing What To Wear
It may sound silly but you must plan your interview outfit. You don’t necessarily have to wear a suit, depending on what job you’re going for, but you should follow a few simple dress code rules …3. Practice interview questions
