Interview Tip #211 - So You Got The Call Back, Now What?
By Joel Vance
You handed in your resume with the job application and you
have gotten the call. They have asked you to come in for that all
powerful job interview, what are you supposed to do now? Start
working your little butt off that is what! You need to learn
absolutely everything that you can about this company if you
want to stand a chance of getting this job. There is bound to be
some pretty heavy competition and if you want to be able to
stand up to it you need to have some powerful tools at your
disposal. And the most powerful tool of all is knowledge.
Knowledge is going to make or break you when it comes time to
interview for that position that you want so bad. The more that
you are armed with the easier each question is going to be to
answer and the smoother your answers are the more popular
you will be among the interviewers. That is what you want right,
to get the job?
Make it clear that you have taken the time to learn what you
could about the company and how it is run. You can learn a lot
about any company online and that is what you need to do. It
will take a few hours of your time but that is worth it if it means
actually getting the job after the interview.
A good interview is one where you can have a real conversation
with the interviewer. You need to ask some questions as well as
the interviewer. This is how you will show your enthusiasm for
the job and show that you did your homework and learned all
kinds of things about the company itself.
During your interview you need to relate some past
experiences, ones that you feel will have a direct bearing on this
job position. Show that you have grown and learned a lot from
your past experiences in this career field and the interviewer will
look upon you kindly.
Interviews are like a fine art form, one that takes practice. If you
fail at one, don't worry about it too much, there will be plenty of
others. Live and learn and do your best, that is all you can ask
of yourself.
