Interview Skills

There are some important things that you need to keep in mind and basic preparation that you can do that will increase your chances of success at interviews. The most important thing is to understand that job interviews should be a process of two-way communication. So, it’s not only for employers to use to evaluate you, but they are also an opportunity for you to understand and assess the job, the organization, the culture and to see if you will be a fit and will enjoy your work and can produce results or not. The keys to a successful interview are preparation, practice and confidence. There are few things that you need to do before the interview.

Self Evaluation: Before the interview you need to do a Self-evaluation It is important for you to think about yourself and your past experiences in order to be ready to articulate what you have to offer an employer. In order to evaluate a job you need to consider following points. • How your present and past experience relate to the position • Your current and future career goals • What skills and expertise you have to offer • The skills that you would like to develop or improve • Location, salary, and lifestyle priorities • Kinds of people and environments you prefer • Past experiences you want to highlight such as volunteer work, hobbies, travel

Research about the Company - A company's website is an excellent place to begin. It usually gives you information on whether it is international or domestic, what its revenues are, how many locations it has, and the nature of its major products. Most companies are very proud of their websites. Many a times the first questions interviewers ask when you arrive is, "Have you have had a chance to look at our website?

Practice interviews - Write down a list of possible questions that you think may be asked, then have a practice interview situation. Try to do that until you feel comfortable answering each question. Practicing beforehand will make you feel more comfortable and relaxed during the interview.

Dress Professionally - In today's environment, wearing a suit isn't always necessary. Contact the HR Manager of the company or your recruiter, and find out what the dress code is for the company at which you are going to interview. Then dress one level above. If in doubt, always dress on the conservative side.


Punctuality - Try to arrive at the interview location a little early. This gives you time to determine where you need to go, and will give you a few minutes to collect your thoughts. DO NOT arrive late. Nothing destroys your chance at impressing an employer more than arriving late and offering no explanation. If you learn at the last minute that you are going to be arriving late at the interview, call and let the interviewer know. Interviewers understand that things can come up suddenly. You are never considered late if you call and make them aware of the fact.
