Doing Well at Job Interviews!
Job interviews can be tricky business. A potential employer only has a few minutes to size up each candidate to determine
who is best for the job. They can ask all sorts of details, anything from personal info to what projects you've worked, why
you are there, where you were before, and why you aren't there now. Knowing what to answer is half the battle in these
situations. They want to put you under pressure so that they can tell how you'll act in the stress of the job. But don't
worry. There are sure fire methods of not only getting through these sessions, but getting the job.
First off is that negativity is never a good thing, especially if it concerns a past job or work experience. You always
want to put your best foot forward and your best impression and that means providing positive spin on your work record, no
matter what. For instance, let's say that you didn't get along at your last job. It was the wrong fit. Maybe you didn't
like your last boss. Ranking on him or her to the interviewer will not gain you any points. It makes you sound petty and
unable to work with people, even if the situation was bad. Instead, present what you learned from the situation and how
that helped you to be a better employee in future positions. Trust me, it will go a lot further than "My boss was a jerk."
People often don't realize that interviews are often a two way street. Not only does the interviewer want to ask you questions,
but he wants to see how interested you are. Be inquisitive. Follow up a dynamite answer with inquiries such as how you
can help the company excel and what the day to day duties are and how you can excel in the position. People like to see
initiative.
Which leads me to the next point, which is to research the company you are going to be interviewed at. Nothing turns off
an interviewer like his interviewee not having a clue as to what they do or who they are. In this digital age, Google can
be your best friend. It can bring up information about what they do, how they do it, the top people, and what their
customers think. However, if you do read bad press about a potential employer, definitely don't bring this up. You are
there to be positive towards the position, not negative.
