How to score on your Interview aka Intergerrogation?
Last week students fellows are forced to attend several pre-intv, included me myself. I have to force to wear a monkey business suit too.I find it ridicilous .Dont get me wrong, I mean it was a good experience but I already had my intv with the medical center last week and college director. Now another pre-intv? I feel sick of preview , I felt like a criminal being in an intergerrotion room over and over again.We were given tips for intv such as :
wear a monkey suit
get ready your portfolio
put on make up
sit strait no humpy dumpy
wear close toe shoes and close legs( I add this)
Greet and smile
I had attended numbers of interviews and had been interviewers too. I had experience in interviews on different position from receptionist to engineer to sales manager. Some of the tips I found it ridiculous like must wear close toe shoes. What close toes shoes gotta do wt intv? I never look at someone feet when I interviewed I look at the face( though I am self confessed shoes fetish) I had successfully killed 9 out of 10 of my interviews even without suit or close toe shoes.
Here are my personal experience based tips for intv :
-
research about the job and company u apply for
-
dress to kill doesn’t matter in suit or not ( I remembered one of my boss told me that as long as u r looking good means u r professional, if u wear a suit but u look like a 60 yrs old grumpy lady no point) wear something that fits your size esp for suit or jacket.
-
prepare your speech about how to sell yourself better than portfolio.
-
Know the job requirement before u actually apply, if u r under qualified forget abt it unless u have others extraordinary skills that would overcome your shortness
-
Read and analyze your interviewer , compliment him/her on details things another word be a sucker on that day whether u like it or not.
-
Prepare to answer all your questions with confident , say it loud . Smile whenever u dont know a questions and apologize that you dont know the answer but u r learning now.
-
End of interview: thanks the interviewer for their time and tell them how glad u r selected for that intv.
Good luck hunters!
