After 3 months of job searching, I finally have a job interview! Since they called me on Monday, I have been talking to myself like a mad woman, preparing for my interview. I am eating, breathing, and sleeping potential interview questions. I want to ace this interview and knock their socks off. I have always enjoyed interviews because I feel as if I have a good handle on them and am always very prepared. Here are my best interview tips for you!
1. Practice makes perfect! I am not lying! When I am preparing for an interview I go over the questions a million times a day. I drive in the car, radio off and interview myself. I walk through the house interviewing myself, in the shower... I think you get the idea. I have a list of questions I made years back and just go through them repeatedly. The more you know what you are going to say the less chance you have of being stuck on a question.
2. Know the company. This seems like a no-brainer. I research the company I am interviewing with and learn about them--the people, awards, recent news, etc. They will ask you, I promise. You will look like an idiot if you don't know anything about them.
3. Bring evidence of how you can help them. The job I am interviewing for tomorrow wants someone who can re-do their website and set-up a blog. I have created a blog post for a potential blog that I would do if I was hired. You can tell them all the wonderful things you can do until you are blue in the face, but when you show them, they will be impressed.
Now I am off to practice my interview! Hopefully this next time I write this I will be employed again!!!
