Job Interview
Preparation
Below is a list of things to focus on ahead of the interview Interviews are always different: some are formal, others informal. The most important thing is to enjoy it, relax and be you.
That said, an interview is like any other meeting – so do as much preparation as you can in advance.
Interview Preparation
The interview is your best opportunity to gain insight into the job position on offer and the company. It also gives you a good opportunity to determine how your experience and talent can contribute to the company’s growth and profitability.
Web: http://www.corecruitment.com/job-seeker-advice/how-to-prepare-for-the-interview/
Below is a list of things to focus on ahead of the interview:
About The Company
Prior to the interview
Find out as much about the company, its history, its current situation and its future as you can. Search
websites, trade magazines, the library, news articles, annual reports, friends and business associates (remembering to keep the position confidential).
>> Read More
At The Interview
Be prepared to ask well thought out and sensible questions about the company and its direction.
About The Position
Prior To The Interview
Find out as much as you can about the position: research what is expected in that role: its duties and responsibilities.
At The Interview
Be prepared to ask sensible questions: who has been successful and why? Who has failed and why? Who will you report to? What needs to be done in the first six months, in the first year? What does success look like for the role? Your recruiter will be able to provide insight in these areas prior to the interview also.
Submit Your CV
Know Yourself
Prior To The Interview
Ensure you know the contents of your CV thoroughly. Review you career history: paying particular importance to the dates, positions you held, duties and responsibilities. Concentrate on your most recent positions, but don’t neglect your early career.
>> Read More
At The Interview
Be prepared to answer questions on your strengths and weaknesses. During the interview try to highlight past experience, solutions your have found or achievements that would be relevant and beneficial to this particular role / company. It’s the perfect time to ‘sell’ you!
Information Needed
Prior To The Interview
1. Who you will be meeting and the date & time of the interview
2. Company name, interviewer / title, full address, phone number, clear directions and where to park or the nearest mainline or tube station
At The Interview
You should take along some well-prepared & neatly presented questions in a tidy folder or note pad. You could also take these on an iPad if preferred. This shows that you are methodical, organised, have given thought to the interview and that company. Remember
to take a copy of your own CV to the interview. You can use this as a prompt if needed in the interview. Think about anything else that might be relevant to take to the interview (these could be past menus you have created or other examples of past work).
What To Do & Avoid
By the time you have got to an interview, that interviewer knows your background and has considered your ability to do the job. The interview is not just based on the role but on personality, will you fit in, say the right things, will they like you etc.
• Don’t be late and do get there early
• Dress appropriately: smart & well presented
• Keep jewellery to a minimum
• Clean shoes – remember to check yourself in a full length mirror
• Do not smoke before the interview – the smell will linger and doesn’t create a great first impression
• FIRM handshake and clear greeting
• Maintain eye-to-eye contact throughout the interview – If a panel of interviewers; look at all of them in turn. When one asks a question, look at them to begin you answer, look at the others during your answer & finish with the one who asked
Job Interview
Preparation (cont)
• Keep your voice volume up, but don’t shout.
• Body language is very important: face the interviewer, keep upright and don’t slouch
Interviewing Skills• In order to sell yourself you must know what the
interviewer wants. Highlight your skills, strengths in a precise manner
• Give a short 1-2 minute summary about yourself.
• Start with what you are doing now, your current job (mentioning the skills that are comparable and complementary to the job you are applying for). Talk about your strengths / attributes, education and hobbies, interests, sporting activity etc.
• Ensure you greet everyone with firm handshake & a smile – often a team is asked what did you think of him / her
• Make conversation if you’re waiting in reception
• Make conversation with the person who collects you.
• Get them to buy into you – sell yourself to everyone and be professional, friendly, amenable etc
Standard Questions
(They are not always easy to answer)
• Where do you see yourself in one / five / 10 years time?
• What are your strengths? E.g. Tenacious, hard-working, diligent, good market knowledge
• What are your weaknesses? (Always turn a strength into a weakness .e.g. perfectionists find it hard to delegate)
• Most significant accomplishment / biggest disappointment
• Hobbies. Employers like to know what their staff does socially / outside work. Keep fit / golf etc
Further Examples
>> Read More
Difficult Questions• Current income / on target earnings
• What salary you do want?
• Reasons for leaving? Do not put your current company down, or the people that you work with e.g. personality clash could be seen a cause for concern. Focus on things such as need a new challenge and new focus or want to specialise etc rather than ‘I don’t like my boss’.
• What is your ideal role?
• What aspects of your work do you enjoy best / dislike (you could be caught out so ensure you know the role you are going for – it sounds a harmless question but has caught many out)
• What do you consider your greatest achievement to date
Submit Your CV
Other Potential Questions You May Be Asked• Why do you want to work for us? (Whatever
company it is – be sure to have done your research)
• How will you benefit the company if we hire you? What can you bring? (Skills wise, not necessarily business / clients as some may see this as unethical)
• How have you impacted on you current company?
• How much do you know about our company? (research always pays off, ask intelligent questions)
• What new ideas could you bring to the company?
• What motivates / de-motivates you?
• What are your ambitions?
• How you work in a team / on your own? Give examples of being a team player, working on own initiative
• How you motivate staff / delegate work?
• How you would increase current business level?
• What levels of business do you work? on e.g. margins, major accounts etc?
• How would your colleagues describe you?
• What style of management do you best work under / your style of management?
• How do you manage your team?
• Who are your role models & why?
Good Questions For You To Ask• Can you give me a breakdown of the duties and
responsibilities?
• What is the usual structure of a day / week?
• What are the expected productivity levels / targets?
• What are your immediate expectations of the jobholder?
• What training / mentor schemes do you run?
• What can you tell me about the company (start question with some knowledge of the Co. or they can throw it back asking you what you know) For instance. I know the company was established in???? Year & is headed by …… Number of properties having developed from ?? What else can you tell me / what are your future plans?
• What are the initial tasks /duties that I will have to deal with / get trained in?
• How is the business generally at the moment?
• Where does the company see itself in the next 1 & 5 years and where would you see me then. Is there anything about my background or skills that you have concerns about or anything you would like to cover again with me while I am here?”
• What is your normal interview process?
• Will there be a second / third interview as I am interested and want to make sure I am available.
• When do you think the next interviews will be held? &
• Where / when are you planning to hold 2nd interviews?
• Do you do psychometric & personality testing / assessment centres (may have to take ½ day off for this.
• Have you seen many people?
• How do I compare to your other candidates?
How To Handle The Money Issue
The question of remuneration can be very sensitive and often requires extended negotiations to reach a figure that is fair and acceptable to both the company and the individual. Some points to remember:
Most companies want to make a fair offer. They want to bring new employees on board at a salary level that provides incentive to change jobs that also is consistent with the company’s existing salary structure for that position.
The days of 20% and 25% increases in compensation are gone. Inflation rates are down, all corporations are more conscious of maintaining consistency in existing salary structures, the economic growth in many industries has levelled off and the competition for better positions has increased. So be realistic in your expectations.
The position and opportunity is the single most important element of your decision. No amount of money will make a bad job good. A quality position, working with quality people in a dynamic work environment offers rewards that money can’t buy.
Be flexible. Compensation packages are a combination of salary, reviews, titles and perks. These elements can be arranged and re-arranged – sometimes very creatively – to satisfy both the individual and the company.
Keep your recruiter involved. Part of our job is to handle sensitive negotiations and move both parties to a fair and acceptable compensation package. We do this for a living and can often offer alternatives that will satisfy both parties.
