JOB INTERVIEW PREPARATION
1. The first impression is the most important. Therefore, pay attention to your appearance. You have to look neat and factual. You should be comfortable, but try to choose the clothes that are best for the occasion. The first impression has a decisive influence on the later attitude towards a person.
2. You have to come to the meeting exactly at the specified time. Late arrival is not acceptable. If you are late for objective reasons, call and try to reschedule the meeting. If you can arrive earlier than required, call and make sure the hiring manager can accept you.
3.During the interview, the tone of the conversation is determined by the HR manager. So give clear answers to the questions. Too short "yes" and "no" answers will not help you get the recruiter's approval. Although too many explanations are also inappropriate. Your comments should be short but informative.
4. Don't overdo your income or work experience. Otherwise, you can spoil the employer's impression. Finally, your words can be easily checked during an interview or a practical test. Only provide information that is true.
5. Give a constructive analysis of your previous professional background. Don't be afraid to talk about your weaknesses. By acknowledging and analyzing your mistakes, you get some additional points.
6. Don't criticize your previous employer. It is best to tell the truth and not to blame the former boss. You can express your thoughts and comments, but in a constructive way.
7. Ask the right questions. When the hiring manager has received all the information that interests him about you, it is your turn to ask questions. Before the interview, try to get all sorts of information about the company. Don't be afraid to ask additional questions while speaking to the HR manager. It is perfectly right to be interested in your federal salary according to the federal wage scale, but don't focus on it.
8. Completion of the interview. At the end of the interview, the HR manager will inform you that he will review your application and contact you. You will be informed of the decision, regardless of whether it is positive or negative. You can clarify how long you should expect an answer.
9. Time to think. You also make your choice. You have to decide what role this agency will play in your future career. How you build relationships with new superiors and colleagues depends on your decision.
