Job interview tips

Leading on from my previous post entitled "The Next Chapter", I am pleased to announced that I got called back for a second interview. I am so surprised and pleased that I am getting this opportunity to start a career for myself and to be in a place where I can work in a surrounding I am truly passionate about. It just goes to show that if you want something you go and get it. Don't let anyone tell you, you can not do it because if you believe in yourself you can achieve anything you desire to. That is why I have put together a few tips on how to have a successful job interview based on the experiences I had with mine.

1- Dress to impress. I know the way someone looks or how someone dresses shouldn't be taken into account when addressing someone's intellectual qualities but when you go for a job interview the first thing they see before you have even said anything is what your wearing and how you present yourself. Wearing an outfit that looks smart, appropriate but classy and trendy at the same time says that your ready to work as hard as you can and have impeccable taste in clothing.

2-  Be polite and shake hands with the interviewer. This may sound like something quite obvious and simple but doing these small but noticeable gestures can make a really good impression and shows that you have the skills to work with customers and other people you come across in your working days.

3-Make yourself interested in the company you are working for. When the person interviewing you is talking about the company you may be working for it's important that you have an interesting expression on your face. Smile and nod politely because if your sitting there looking bored then they will think you have no interest in the job at all and they need someone who is as passionate about the company than they are.

4-Do your research. When your preparing for your interview it's so important that you research the company and the job your applying for like the back of your hand. Just simple things like what their objective is, when they started and what duties your job role entitles. If your asked a question about them and you stare blankly it doesn't look good.   

5- Last but on least be confident. I know it's hard to be nervous but if you can put all that behind and go in there like you know exactly what your doing you will blaze it. And just remember it's not the end of the world if it doesn't go well. There are many more opportunities out there for you to take and grab.

I hope these few tips will helped if you have an interview coming up soon or in the possible future.
