How To Ace Your Next Job Interview
1) Research and Role Play
Prior to your interview, do your homework on the company. Look them up online, research their competitors, learn about some of their recent accomplishments and milestones. Find out what you can so you aren’t walking into the building completely blind about the company and what it is that they do. The more knowledge you have, the more confident you will be. It’s also a good idea to practice for the interview. The best way to properly answer crafty interview questions is to be prepared. Whether that’s reciting some lines in front of the mirror by yourself, or using a friend to ask you some of the most common interview questions. Be prepared to tell the interviewer about yourself and your career goals. Practice your answers for your phone, Skype, or in-person interviews prior to them actually happening and don’t just memorize your CV, you don’t want to sound scripted. One of the most common interview questions your potential new boss might ask you is: “tell me about yourself.” This easy enough sounding question can surprisingly get candidates into trouble. Trust us when we say that they don't want to hear about your dating life or hobbies! Practice makes perfect!
