Are you always nervous when going to job interviews? Or are you still wondering why the last employer that you applied for didn’t accept your application? Maybe you have to learn more about tips on job interview…
- Think of questions that you think the employer might ask you and practice answering them.
- Research about the company. The employer will be impressed if you know what you’re getting yourself into and if you took the time and effort to research on it.
- Prepare your attire for the interview the night before. Wear smart casual or semi-formal attires. It depends on the company.
- Sleep early and eat well so that you will have energy and a clear mind when answering questions.
- Be on time. Thirty minutes early is good to have time to refresh yourself after the drive or commute.
- Don’t forget your resume and portfolio. This should include pertinent information about work experience (if you have), skills, and background information. Also bring some projects that you have done or certificates that you have achieved. Bring them, just in case, but don’t brag about them.
- During the interview, be polite, calm, and confident in answering questions. Smile to the interviewer when appropriate.
- Don’t ask about salary, compensation, benefits, holidays, leaves, or vacations on the very first interview. You can ask about these on the second or third interview, if there are.
- Look at the interviewer’s eyes, sit straight, and don’t fidget.
- After the interview, shake the interviewer’s hand firmly. When you arrive home, send a ‘thank you email’ even if you’re still not sure whether or not you got the job.
