The most effective job interview tips are frequently
the least surprising: do your research, have examples
of accomplishments ready to talk about, dress
appropriately, give a firm handshake. One tip that
could be of help is to consider the following
scenario. For some reason, an employee sits down to
interview for his or her own job, the one that he or
she is currently performing, in competition with other
applicants who have read about the opening in a
newspaper ad. As you might imagine, that would be no
contest at all. The current employee would know
exactly what the requirements of the job are, would
know what successes the company valued, and could talk
about all of those elements in a way that would most
resonate with the interviewer.
Ultimately, the best job interview tips that anyone
could give a job seeker are tips which help that
interviewer achieve the kind of knowledge and
confidence that that hypothetical employee in the
interview chair would have. As a matter of fact, that
level of familiarity with the requirements and results
of the job should be the goal of anyone scheduled to
go on an interview for a position. One effective way
to get the knowledge of an employee is to make an
effort to talk to target company employees. As you
research to prepare for the position, try to think of
anyone you know who works for that target company or
for a company in the same industry or field. That
individual could be a great source of insight into the
target company’s culture and reputation.
