How to Ace A Job Interview | Top 3 Tips

Today, we are going to be focusing on how to ace a job interview. I'm going to be giving you 10 tips that you can use to make sure that you're on the hiring manager's shortlist by the time you walk out of the room.

 

Practise Interviews

 

You have a lot of opportunities to do these. When I was a college student at Iowa State University, throughout my four years, every single year when the career fair would roll into town, there would be actual recruiters that would come to the Career Centre and offer up their time to do practice interviews with any student that signed up for one.

Now, these interviews weren't real interviews, but they were real conversations with people who were hiring managers about aerospace engineering assignment help or HR people at companies who were going to be at the career fair. So in addition to being good practice for future real interviews, they were good networking experiences with people who might be making decisions in the future. But the main benefit of these types of interviews is that they are great practice for the real thing because an interview is inherently a nerve-wracking experience. So if you have some time to go in and do practice interviews where the stakes aren't so high,

 

Bring a Notebook

 

Bring a notebook and a pen to the interview with you. Doing this is yet another signal that you are dedicated and detail-oriented, because you're able to take notes on the details of the position during the interview, but it also allows you to come prepared with some pre-written notes about the company's history or any questions that you might have. You should also bring a couple of copies of your resume, just in case, it becomes useful during the conversation. And if you happen to be applying for a position where examples of your work would be useful, bring those along as well. During my last couple of years at college before I became a full-time entrepreneur, what I would bring to an interview is this leather padfolio which had some resume copies in it, it had some notebook paper and a pen in it, and I also brought an iPad that I would keep inside of it which had screenshots of my web development work.

 

 

Send Thank You Notes

 

Send thank-you notes or thank-you emails within 24 hours of your interview. Now, I say thank you notes or thank you emails because in my mind, time is of the essence here, and in a lot of cases, it's pretty difficult to get an actual, physical handwritten note to your interviewer, especially if the building that you went to the interview in is far away from where you are. So in those cases, a thank you email works pretty well. But if you happen to have the ability to give an actual handwritten thank you note like Biotechnology assignment help, and it's within 24 hours or maybe within 48 hours at the very latest, then that can add a nice touch. It should also be noted, and yes, that was a pun, that you shouldn't limit your thank you notes or thank you emails just to the interviewer. If you interacted with a secretary during your time at the building or you got to go tour the building or talk to somebody doing a job that you would be doing, send those people to thank you emails as well. It goes a long way.
