Job Interview: Do’s

Ok1. Do make sure you know how to get to your job interview location. It is also a good idea to make a test trip to that place in order to figure out how long it takes to get there – you do not want to be late for your interview. Also take into consideration the circumstances which may prolong the trip – traffic jams at the rush hours, public transportation schedule.

2. Do a research on the company’s activity, as well as on the position advertised and the requirements. Try to find out what kind of interview you are going to participate in (see types of interviews) – it will help you to prepare in the proper way. Think of the questions that could be asked by the interviewer and rehearse the answers.

3. Do dress professionally – your appearance will give the interviewer the first impression which is usually strong and hard to change. The chose of clothes can surely vary depending on the position you are applying for and the company you are longing to work in. However, the best chose is always conservative – a classic suit will never let you down.

Types of Job Interviews

Interview1. Stress Interview is aimed at discovering how the job applicant behaves in critical situations. The interviewer is posing questions and making remarks intended to make the job-seeker become defensive. However, this is the last thing the candidate wants to demonstrate if he or she wants to do well at the job interview. Such a compromising remark as “You lack experience in this or that field and will not able to maintain the tasks assigned to the position” should not embarrass you. Smile and provide the relative experience you possess, and also stress you ability for learning quickly.

2. Behavioral Interview. This type of interview is based on the belief that your past performance is the best indicator of your future performance. That is why during this interview you are asked to tell in detail about your past working experience, your achievements and failures.
