Hunting - Job Interviews
A face to face interview, or even worse
a telephone interview, are difficult tasks and like all difficult tasks
it rewards preparation. Every interview you do is a learning opportunity
which increases your chances of getting the job you really want.
What
does the interviewer need to know?
What
are the questions you need answered?
The basic job interview rules include:
- Do prepare before hand - it makes a
big difference.
- Do have an opinion - avoid answering
yes or no all the time.
- Do look good - appearance does matter.
- Do turn up on time.
- Do not talk for ages - 2 minutes is
good.
- Do not raise the topic of money.
- Do ask a couple of good questions at
the end.
The interviewer
needs to establish the answers to the following key questions:
- Why are you applying to this company
and not someone else?
- What can you do for me?
- How well will we work together?
- Why you and not someone else?
- How much will you cost me?
The key questions
you really need to answer for yourself are:
- What job am I really being offered
here?
- Do I have the skills to do this job?
- Can I get on with these people?
- What makes me different from others
who could do this job?
- Does this job pay me enough?
