Good Job Interview

Secrets to a Good Job Interview
Like most successful life events, a good job interview
is not something that just happens. It’s something
that you just make happen. The way you do that is by
preparing ahead of time. One area of preparation is
learning as much as possible about the target job. One
mental image to help you understand the importance of
this preparation is to imagine if a current employee
would be forced to interview for their existing job.
During that interview, the employee would have a great
job interview. He or she would know exactly what the
interviewer was looking for, and know exactly how to
provide it in a way that would be the most impressive
and convincing.
In this good job interview, the current employee would
go into the interview with inside knowledge about
three specific areas. First, the employee would know
about the daily tasks of the job, and what is required
to perform them well. Second, the employee would know
what results the company valued most. Third, he or she
would know what characteristics or attributes the
company’s corporate culture valued the most. As you
prepare for your job interview, your goal should be to
get as much knowledge as you can about these three
areas as well. If possible, as much as a current
employee might have. Just as important as knowing what
is important to the interviewer, though, this current
employee would know how to present that in the
interviewer.
More Good Job Interview Advice
This current employee would give a good job interview
by providing examples of his or her experience,
results and characteristics in ways that would most
impress the interviewer. He or she would give the
incidents, examples and anecdotes what would speak
most directly to what the interviewer is looking for
in a candidate. As you prepare for your job interview,
follow this example and create anecdotes which
directly parallel or mirror the realities of the
target job. As you tell these stories, with
situations, actions and results identical to the
target job’s situations, actions and results, the
interviewer comes to believe that you are qualified
for the position. As a matter of fact, he or she
begins to imagine you performing competently and grows
confidence in your suitability.
When you know what the job requires, and have some
stories ready that can represent you as having those
attributes, the last part of a good job interview is
the mechanical parts. Showing up on time is important,
as is dressing appropriately for the position. During
the interview, smile a lot, make eye contact and be
sure to let the interviewer take the lead at the
beginning of the conversation. Get a business card
from the interviewer as you leave and use that contact
information to write a quick thank you note for the
interview. In that note, be sure to emphasize that you
are still very interested in the position and that you
are open to more interviews and conversations.
