So, it's interview day and you're sweating, because all you want to know is: "What is the interviewer thinking?"
Well, if stick around, I might tell you.
I’m Cat Miller and this is Dice TV!
Surprise!
The first thought across the interviewer’s mind is not likely to be about how you’re dressed.
Instead, they’re praying that you are gonna be the right person for the job.
They’ve already talked to a lot of candidates and they still have this opening to fill.
What they really want is that the next person who walks through that door and that’s you to be the right one.
That doesn’t mean you’re off the hook, though, so don’t get all lay back about your cloths.
Because whether or not you look professional is the next thought there goes through the interviewers mind.
- Lay back = loosen, too comfortable to be formal,
Too often candidates, particularly those without a job, show up wearing less than appropriate clothing.
Don’t wear flip-flops or worn out jeans.
If you can’t make a good judgment call when it comes to interview attire, interviewers will be willing to meant that you don’t make good judgment calls anywhere else.
Even if business casual is company policy, don’t wear kakis.
Recruiters say / you wanna look as polished and professional as you can.
Next the interviewers want to see that you have done your homework.
Be sure you’ve looked at the company’s website and identify issues and trends in the industry.
Go over the job posting and brainstorm the kind of confidence _____ hiring manager’s looking for, from attention to detail, communication skills to leadership capability.
Then think about your achievements and how they link to those qualities.
The next one is obvious or should be.
Don’t be late! It is just unacceptable.
Scope out the location in advance two hours before or even a day before.
When you do that extra leg work, you’ll be on time and you’ll save yourself a ton of stress.
- You gotta do some extra leg works to figure out the new system as quickly as possible, especially when you start a new position.
- You should do lots of leg works if you wanna become a go-to guy (= expert) in your field.
Finally, if there is bad blood between you and a past employer, just keep it to yourself.
Never bad mouth your past supervisors, employers or coworkers.
