What is an Interview and its importance for getting jobs

What is an Interview and its importance for getting jobs:

• An Interview is a conversation between two or more people (the interviewer and the interviewee)where questions are asked by the interviewer to obtain information from the interviewee.

• During the course of the interview,through a series of questions,the interviewer's task is to analyse whether you are suitable for the job while your task is to demonstrate that you are suitable for the job.

• If you have managed to land on the interview chair,you have crossed all the hurdles between you and your dream job,except the INTERVIEW.So far so good.

• But one goof-up at the interview can as well send you spiralling down to the bottom to start all over again.

So read on and prepare well...

Prepare for the interview:

• Clear guidance,solid research and pre-interview homework by itself will lend you a clearer perspective and help you answer most of the interview questions!

• Interview Dressing!

InterviewTips:

• Will dressing properly get you the job? Of course not,but it will give you a competitive edge and a positive first impression.Throughout the recruitment process,employers use short-cuts,heuristics or rules of thumb to save time.With cover letters,it's the opening paragraph and a quick scan of your accomplishments.With the job interview,it is how you're dressed that sets the tone of the interview.

• And you cannot go wrong by being formal,boring and conventional!

Answering Interview Qs:

• When it comes to answering interview Questions,KISS - Keep it Simple and Straight.

• However,do not give abrupt one-word answers.

• If you don't know an answer,admit it.DO NOT TRY to make up and answer.That might lesson your chances of getting through.

• Ensure you retain your identity.Be Natural but polite.

• SWITCH OFF YOUR CELL PHONE.

• And with this ,you are through.

ALL THE BEST !!
