DREADING THAT JOB INTERVIEW?

Let's Crack It

You're ready to land a job interview. You've done your research, you've prepared for it, and now you're ready to take that first step. But before you do anything else, don't forget this: the best way to clear a job interview is to be prepared for the questions they might ask. The worst thing you can do is go into a meeting without knowing what they're going to ask. That said, here are some tips on how to clear a job interview like a pro!

Tip #1: Be Prepared Make sure that you're prepared for the interview and have all of your materials ready, including your resume and cover letter. Make sure to focus on the things that make you stand out from other candidates—and show why this job would be great for your career goals. You should also bring extra copies of your resume, in case the interviewer needs to refer back to it, or if they want some copies for themselves or their team members to review before making a decision about hiring you as part of their team

Tip #2: Dress Appropriately Dress in an appropriate manner for the type of company you're interviewing with, both in terms of clothing and grooming standards. While you don't want to look like a slob or try too hard, it's good to know what level of business casual means in terms of dress code.

Tip #3: Don't Be Late! It's important to arrive early for your interview or at least 30 minutes before time is scheduled for it so that you can get settled into the room and wait for everyone else to arrive before getting started with the interview process itself (which might take longer than expected). Once everyone has arrived together, begin by introducing yourself.

Tip #4: Ask Questions Asking questions is critical during the interview process. This helps to identify if there is a fit between the employer and applicant, and also helps to find out if there are any areas of concern or misunderstanding. It also allows applicants to show their personality and strengths without being asked directly about them.

Tip #5: Be Honest & Open Be honest and open with potential employers about your skills and experience. This will allow both parties to understand if there is a match between each other's needs and expectations. Be clear about what type of position you're looking for, what skills sets you have that can be applied towards that position, and how those skills would help your potential employer reach their goals more effectively than someone who doesn't possess those same skillsets would be able to do so on their own

Tip #6: Be Confident You should never feel nervous about an interview—it's important for them to see how comfortable you are with being up in front of people, so act naturally and confidently throughout the entire process. Don't worry too much about what they're asking—just get through it as quickly as possible and let them know how much they'd be benefiting from having you on their team!

Tip #7: Practice with someone else first before doing it on your own If possible, get someone else involved in helping you prepare for the interview. This person could help with research or simply ask you questions that you’re supposed to answer in the interview by creating a interview-like environment

Tip #8: Be well-versed in the company's mission statement It may seem like an odd thing to ask during an interview, but knowing exactly what your new employer stands for will allow you to show them why you would be a good fit for their team.

Tip #9: Keep an open mind When asked questions, think about what the interviewer is really asking, rather than what they want you to say based on their expectations of what they want to hear.

Tip #10: Make Eye Contact During an interview, maintaining eye contact with the interviewer sends a variety of messages, but the most crucial ones are confidence and self-worth, both of which are necessary traits for an employee to possess. The amount of eye contact you make during the interview will also help the interviewer determine how interested you are.

And lastly, be yourself! Your personality will come through in your answers, even if you're nervous or uncomfortable with the situation at hand. You'll also be able to judge how well your interviewer liked talking with you once they leave your office or company.
