How to get ready for the big day The most exciting time for a job seeker is when after months of job searching, an employer calls you for an interview! At this level, the employer has verified that you are well qualified for the job and all you need to do is just convince him that you are the best candidate. Here’s what you need to do. Google. The first thing you should do after hanging up the phone (and doing a happy dance) is research the company online. Analyse the following: what does the company do? What products do they sell? What is the latest company news, who will be interviewing and what is their position? The more knowledge you have on the company the better as this will reflect in your interview. Since not all companies are online, you can always ask among your friends and family about the company. Prepare your documents Ensure that your CV is updated with all your current details. You should also own a folder which holds all your academic certificates, CV and other work documents neatly. By bringing all the relevant documents in an interview, an employer gains confidence in your abilities since there is proof. Carrying your documents also portrays you as professional and well organised. Rehearse Interview questions are always the same; tell me about yourself, what are your past achievements, what is your career goal and so on. You should draw a list of the questions you are most likely to be asked and go over your answers with a friend. Practice giving great answers and maintaining eye contact with the interviewer. By the time you get to the interview, you should speak confidently and effortlessly. Appearance Matters When you first meet someone you do not know, your first impression is always based on their appearance. Employers will also do the same and hence the reason you need to dress smart. Your hair should be well groomed, clothes well ironed and the shoes should be polished. When you’re dressed sharply, you also boost your confidence. Time Management The night before the interview ensure you have your day planned out to avoid being late for your interview. Ideally you should be at the interview venue 15 minutes before the allocated time. This gives you time to gather your thoughts and go through your CV.
