Interview Techniques You Can’t Afford To Miss

What interview techniques are you using?

Interview Techniques You Can’t Afford To Miss are crucial for standing out in a competitive job market. Are they working? Interviewing well is essential to your success – especially in this job market. If you’re interviewing well, you’ve probably had a couple of return visits and possibly a job offer or two. If not, maybe it’s time for a couple of job interview tips that will actually help set you far apart from your competition.

First, I don’t actually have a number in this instance, but do you know how many job seekers come into an interview without a clue? They have done no research about the company, know little if anything about the job, and in some cases nothing about the industry. So if you have done a bit of homework, you’re actually ahead in the game.

Tip #1

Get to know the job you’re interviewing for and exactly what the employer is looking for in a new employee. Pretty simple right? But since candidates are eliminated from contention because they’ve done a crummy job of keeping track of exactly what job they’re applying for – keep track! Know what employers want in terms of skills and experience. You’ll have greater success if you get organized. Simply keep a log of your application activities, record of which resume/cover letter you sent, and a description of the jobs for which you apply.

Tip #2

Familiarize yourself with the company and some of its initiatives. Again, if you have gathered information about their history and what they do, you’ve surpassed some of your competition.

Tip #3

Arm yourself with a list of pertinent questions and engage in a topical discussion about the company. By doing this, the hiring manager will see just how interested you really are in the position. This is not tough to do and shows you mean business.

Use these tips to set yourself apart from your competition.
