This was where i really needed to make an impact on them. I waited too long to get this slip away from me, so I decided to do a little research on their company and was prepared to answer anything they asked. I ended up using on job or school experiences for every question they asked me and it boggled their mind. I knew i stood out from the rest when they told me "you answered every question with great examples." I followed up the day after and landed the job!
Job Interview Tips
Practice - Prepare for questions that they might ask, don't go in unprepared because you don't want to take too long to answer the questions.
Prepare - Make sure that you know about their company and policies in case they ask questions of the sort.
Get Ready - Make sure you wear the appropriate attire to the interview and if need be, bring your portfolio or resume with you.
Be On Time - Be on time to your interview!!! This means about 5 minutes early
Stay Calm - Try not to get nervous if they ask you a question that you aren't exactly sure about. It's important to stay relaxed.
Follow Up - Following up is very important after the interview, It shows you are very interested in the position.

ReplyDeleteCraig,
ReplyDeleteGreat Post! I liked how personable you made this post. You drew on your past experiences to make a very approachable post. In the future, I think you should read your posts aloud to eliminate any typing mistakes. I also liked how you broke down the job interview tips into six categories. We're almost to our last post, here's to week 5!

I liked your post because tips to make my interview more affective is never enough. I am about to graduate and I found your tips very interesting. I am going to take advantage of this post whenever I'm preparing for my interviews.
ReplyDeleteThe tips you listed can help a lot when getting ready for an interview. When I landed my first big interview i did not practice the questions and did horrible. Also, the tip about knowing information about the company can really set you apart from the competition. Very good info!
