Interviewing Strategy

Interviewing is a process of elimination, not a process of selection. Let the company lead the interview, but be prepared with your own list of specific questions that relate to the job you are interviewing for, and the person you are meeting with. Relate to that person and ask questions people love to talk about their company and position.

 


How to Master the Art of Interviewing

 

To a large degree, the success of your interview will depend on your ability to discover needs and empathize with the interviewer. You can do this by asking questions that verify your understanding of what the interviewer has just said, without editorializing or expressing an opinion. By establishing empathy in this manner, you'll be in a better position to freely exchange ideas, and demonstrate your suitability for the job.

 

In addition to empathy, there are four other intangible fundamentals to a successful interview. These intangibles will influence the way your personality is perceived, and will affect the degree of rapport, or personal chemistry you'll share with the employer.

 

1. Enthusiasm - Leave no doubt as to your level of interest in the job. You may think it's unnecessary to do this, but employers often choose the more enthusiastic candidate in the case of a two-way tie. Besides, it's best to keep your options open -- wouldn't you rather be in a position to turn down an offer, than have a prospective job evaporate from your grasp by giving a lethargic interview?

 

2. Technical interest - Employers look for people who love what they do, and get excited by the prospect of tearing into the nitty-gritty of the job.

 

3. Confidence - No one likes a braggart, but the candidate who's sure of his or her abilities will almost certainly be more favorably received.

 

4. Intensity - The last thing you want to do is come across as flat in your interview. There's nothing inherently wrong with being a laid back person; but sleepwalkers rarely are hired.

 

By the way, most employers are aware of how stressful it can be to interview for a new position, and will do everything they can to put you at ease.
