Job Interview Techniques

Job Interview Techniques - Use the right interview techniques to make any interviewer desperate to hire you.

I have been in the recruitment industry for the last 11 years and have interviewed many candidates.

Two job interview techniques that I'm almost frightened to describe as life changing (if done correctly:)

The Job Interview Brag Book Used properly this will help you deliver what employers are really looking for- PROOF...

The 30 60 90 Day Plan My new favourite interview tip of all!

 

Here are the rest of my top Interview techniques:

  1. Preparation
  2. Appearance - First impression
  3. Eye Contact
  4. Confidence
  5. Enthusiasm
  6. Honesty
  7. Concise answers
  8. Relevant Questions
  9. Know when to stop talking
  10. Listen

Most of you will be thinking "Help" I can't do this.

If we break these Job interview techniques into small steps this will be a less daunting task.

Job Interview Techniques

1. Job interview research

For a full breakdown please go to my Job Interview Research Page.

The basic message is Research the company, the job and if possible the interviewer.

2. Appearance

mock job interview

The first and most important Job interview Technique is make a strong first impression as soon as you walk in.

 

I always try to get to my meetings early and sit and people watch, waiting for my candidate.

As I sit there I hear myself saying "I hope that's my candidate"

According to research employers' impressions are made up of the following:

Body Language and image -70%
Tone of voice- 20%
What you say- 10%

When I am interviewing a candidate the question I will always ask myself is

"Do they look like they work for the company I am recruiting for?"

This is really important :If possible go and see what the majority of people are wearing when they are coming out of their building and copy their style.

If you look like you would fit in to that organisation that's a good head start.

First impressions do count so remember to always talk clearly, if you talk too loud it's obnoxious and mumbling is irritating.

3.Eye Contacteye contact

Always have good eye contact a firm hand shake (remember it is eye contact not staring).

Smile and nod your head when being spoken to and always keep that all important eye contact.

4.Confidence

This is probably the most difficult obstacle to overcome.

My advice would be if you practice your interview (see Mock Job Interview Page) your confidence will grow and you will be prepared for the majority of situations you will come across in an interview.

You will know your strengths and weakness and using this valuable information your confidence will soar.

Warning : Don't be over confident, stay relaxed show you have a friendly personality and you will not come across as arrogant.

5.Enthusiasm

You must be enthusiastic about your work.

When I meet an outstanding candidate they have so much enthusiasm and passion about the job they do.

6.Honesty

"Honesty is always the best policy" as the saying goes.

Give honest answers; if you are asked a question you don't know the answer to, say so.

Don't make the mistake that many people do "talking bull" this will not do you any favours.

7.Concise answers

If you take your time and practice your answers you will have a really good understanding of how to keep your answers concise.

If your answers demonstrate how you can save the company money or make money for them, you will be on to a winner.

If you are having trouble with what questions you will be asked then there are products out there that can help you.

One product that I do recommend is an online interview training course called Interview Gold Visit the official site here

8.Relevant Questions

These questions are the questions you need to ask.

If you have done your homework then these can more than impress the interviewer.

Again if you are having trouble finding the right questions then Interview Gold will be able to help you.

9.Know when to stop talking

This can be a very common mistake when people go for interview they love the sound of there own voice.

Again "Practice makes perfect".

Do a mock interview, time yourself and you will find that interview success is on it's way.

And last but not least

10.Listen

When you go for an interview this is one Job interview Technique you should not be without.

If you don't listen you might answer your questions in the wrong way.

You may also be seen by the interviewer as being disinterested.

Listen and make sure you use that all important eye contact, the nodding of the head in the right places.

If you follow these job interview techniques you will be on your way to that new Job.

Good luck
