Interviewing Do's

Interviewing Do's

The following tips will help you have a more productive and comfortable interview.

Do

Know the logistics – Time, location, interviewer's name and position title.
Preplan your day so that you are not rushed, preoccupied or lack sleep.
Arrive 10-15 minutes early. Being late to an interview is never excusable.
Be professional. Smile, make eye contact and maintain good posture. This starts at the front door.
Remember, your interview may actually start in the parking lot or lobby. Your potential employer and their employees are watching.
Ask questions. An interview should be a mutual exchange of information, not a one-sided conversation.
Clarify questions. Answer the interviewer's questions as specifically as possible. Relate your skills and background to the position requirements throughout the interview.
Give your qualifications. Focus on accomplishments that are most pertinent to the job.
Anticipate tough questions. Prepare to turn perceived weaknesses into strengths.
Listen. Concentrate not only on the interviewer's words, but also on the tone of voice and body language. Once you understand how the interviewer thinks, pattern your answers accordingly and you will be able to establish a better rapport.
Dress appropriately. Make your first impression a professional one. Dressing up is better than dressing down.

6 Ways to Impress Hiring Authorities

6 Ways to Impress Hiring Managers
1. Demonstrate your experience. You bring a lifetime of accumulated experiences to a
job. Explain to your proposed new employer how you can help them achieve their
organizational goals and objectives.
• Ask (in your own words) what the most important areas are for you to focus on if you get hired.
• Ask (in your own words) what specific issues you should tackle in your first 90 days.
• Ask (in your own words) if there are important jobs not getting done that you could accomplish.
2. Use specific examples
. The best way to convey your rich experiences is with stories of
how you improved the bottom line of the company at your past jobs. Be prepared to
include brief stories about how you found a way to improve quality, customer service or save money.

3. Relate to the Hiring Manager.
Be positive and don’t speak badly about former employers
or bosses. Try to relate to your future boss.

4. Emphasize adaptability
. Show you are flexible and adaptable in all circumstances.
Employers want to know that you are a team-player and easy to get along with.

5. Pass your knowledge on
. Companies want workers willing to coach and mentor newer
employees. Employers are looking for people with the ability to share ideas - people
with good interpersonal skills and good communications skills. They want solution
oriented people who can explain how we got to a certain point and explain what needs
to be done to correct a problem.

6. Be excited about the opportunity.
At the end of the interview let the Hiring Authority
know that you are excited about working for them and ask, “What are the next steps?”
