The 4 P's of Interview Success


1. Prepare:
  • Increase your confidence by knowing:
  • About the job and the company
  • How your qualifications match the job
  • How to answer getting-to-know your questions
  • How to answer prove-it-to-me questions
  • Which questions to ask the interviewer
  • Which questions the interviewer should not ask you and how to answer if you are asked

 
2. Practice:
  • Answer and asking questions to communicate clearly, confidently and effectively
3. Participate:
  • Make a great impression by using the following tips:
  • While making eye contact, shake hands firmly when you meet the interviewer
  • Thank the interviewer for inviting you to the interview and for taking the time to meet with you
  • Take time to think before you answer
  • If you don't understand a question, ask the Interviewer to repeat it or ask for clarification
  • If you get off topic when answering a question, use strategies to help get you back on track


4. Be Positive:
  • Feel nervous about job interviews? That’s normal! To help calm the jitters, think about the interview as an information-sharing meeting between you and the employer.
  • The Employer  wants to find out if you can do the job, and if you will fit into their company.
  • You want to find out if you should contribute your skills, knowledge and experience to the company. You also want to know if you will be able to learn and grow in the position and company. Also if you will be respected and paid fairly for your work.
