Interview Technique Training Resource
Know Your Contact
When called for an interview, ask to whom you will be talking to. It is nice to be able to greet your interviewer by name at the beginning of the interview without first being told who they are. It shows that you are on top of things, and have prepared before hand.
You will also want to do some research on the person that will be conducting your interview. Learn what they do for the company and try to get some samples of their work or achievements in the company.
If you know what department that you are going to work in you may want to get the names of your potential colleagues and superiors prior to the interview as well. This way you can get some information about their roles in the company and the types of work that they have done.
Mention some of the things that you learn about your potential colleagues in the interview and about how much you look forward to working with them in the future. If you can, give an example of their work so that you will appear more sincere.
Resumes that are more than two pages will not be fully read by a recruiter. You should steer clear of asking any personal questions or any questions that are not directly job related. Sometimes there are specific methods for addressing an emailed resume. Understand that body language plays a large part in exuding confidence to others. The smallest thing can mean the difference between your having a new job, or youre still pounding the pavement trying to score a new interview. Your First Impression First impressions can be a hard thing to get past in any situation. |
