Interview preparation provides 50% of interview success or failure. The result will depend on your appearance, knowledge, qualifications, experience and many other factors.
Instructions
Step 1
First, collect as much information about the company as possible. Information can be obtained in various ways. The best source is an employee who works, or may have worked in the organization you are interested in. From him you will learn what you will never find in official sources. It is important to be able to filter out the emotions and subjectivity of the narrator.
Step 2
Think about what you will wear for the interview. It is the appearance and your mannerisms that will determine the first and main impression. Whatever institution you go to, wear a business suit. Even if it is customary in the company to wear jeans, put them aside for later. Now, as you prepare for your interview, try to look neat and tidy. The same goes for scent - do not wear harsh and heavy perfume before the interview. To make a good impression, you have to smell a very light and pleasant perfume.
Step 3
Consider in advance the route you will take to get to the interview. You must know where you will park your car, how long the road will take. Calculate the time so that you arrive 15 minutes earlier than the appointed time. This will let the interviewer know that you value your time and his.
Step 4
Get some sleep before your interview to look refreshed and energized. Try not to drink a lot of water before the interview, because if you want to use the toilet, you will not be able to go out during the interview. It is unlikely that you will be able to make a favorable impression if you look around restlessly.
Step 5
Prepare all documents that can confirm your qualifications. These can be diplomas, catalogs, certificates, licenses.
Step 6
Try to find out how long the interview will take. This is necessary in order to correctly calculate the response time for each question.
Step 7
If you have been given some forms to fill out in advance, make sure that they are folded into the same folder in which you will put your documents. When filling out forms, questionnaires, be extremely careful. Here, your literacy, and handwriting, and blots, and clarity of wording will play a role.
