How to avoid making mistakes at job interviews.
Applying for a Job and undergoing the subsequent selection process is like
participating in a "competition" between professionals, so a lot of preparation work has
to be done to become a winner. There are plenty of recommendations and guidelines on
how to write a good resume and prepare for an interview. I’d like to emphasize just a
few points based on my experience as a recruiter.
For any position, the first stage in the recruitment process is the CV/ resume pre-
selection. This takes place in the company or agency. A resume or CV is an effective
marketing tool for a candidate if written and formatted well. Thus, it's very important to
give concrete and structured information that will catch a recruiter or HR specialist's
attention in the first 5 minutes.
The next step is the personal interview. It goes without saying that it is important to
arrive on time for your interview and be well-prepared and positive. Please be careful
about how you dress; jeans are totally inappropriate for an interview, even if they are
the norm for employees of a particular company.
Candidates often don’t pay attention to collecting background information about a
company's activities before their interview. And a candidate makes a bad start if he or
she asks "What would you like to offer me?"
Usually, only key requirements are mentioned in a job advertisement, although a set
of selection criteria always exists. The recruiter is eager to fine out not only if a
candidate has some useful skills, but whether they have the optimal combination for a
particular position. That's why the candidate should be ready to demonstrate that they
have the strengths and abilities to do the job and explain why he or she are applying for
the position.
First of all you should be ready to explain why you are applying for a particular
position in the company. In my opinion, if a candidate's only reason for applying for a
job is the salary offered, he or she is not the "right" candidate. It is crucial for a
candidate to be able to demonstrate why they see themselves in the position in question
and why they have chosen this particular career path.
On several occasions I didn't make an offer to a candidate although their
professional skills were good, because they were unable to explain their motivation and
had no ideas about future professional growth. It's very important to attend training
courses in your area of expertise regularly to improve your skills and acquire new
knowledge. It always creates a positive impression when a candidate is able to
demonstrate their openness to learning and professional improvement.
The most important thing during the interview is to maintain a dialogue with the
interviewer. It's impossible to evaluate a candidate's professional skills if he or she
"freezes up" after a difficult question or is unable to fully describe their experience.
Another mistake is to talk too much and "around" the question, or to tell your entire life
story.
My advice is listen to the questions carefully and give clear and correct answers.
