The four
Ps of interviewing
1. Preparation
The Candidates should have
"looked at the Web site, read the company's brochure, talked to people
who've worked there .If you haven't done that, it can really make it
uncomfortable in the interview, because you're not going to understand what the
interviewer's talking about." Applicants should "sit down and think
'What are they going to ask me when I'm in that interview?'
2. Practice
Practice running through
potential interview questions and answers with someone else in advance. Candidates
can often anticipate the kinds of questions if not the exact ones they'll be asked during interviews. Preparing
yourself looking in the mirror and answering the question. It's much more
difficult to give your answer to a live person and ask them what they thought
of your answer than to look yourself in the mirror and do it.
3. Personal presentation
Remember to dress appropriately
be mindful of interview etiquette and body language. Be sure to cover all the
standard interviewing etiquette points as well. Even the basics like a good
handshake, not being nervous, smiling because they don't see the real you if
you're uptight, And basic eye contact; a lot of people put a lot of weight into
eye contact. Maintaining that is really important.
4. Pertinent questions
Always have at least 1 or 2
questions to ask the interviewer at the end, it shows your interest in the
organization and the position. Include developing a tough question in your
preparation to finish things off. "For me, I just love it when someone asks
a really difficult question something that takes some guts to ask, asking
really well-thought-out questions that show you know the business that interviewer
is in. You know their company to some extent, and you've thought about your
question. It all goes back to preparation, and it tells the interviewer you
thought about this interview before you walked in the door.
