Most of that is old hat for me. I've always been a pretty strong interviewee. I will further work on being better physically prepared for the interview (slide 5) by working out in the morning beforehand, ensuring I'll be awake and alert.
All great suggestions, though the one I feel would be the most helpful would be doing ones homework on the organization first. This gives you an upper hand and a bit of confidence in the interview. For the next job I apply for I will definitely try this so that I can seem more knowledgeable to the employer.
It seems like the research tip from "The Interview Guys" is one of the better tips I've heard on this blog.
The trick is creating tailor made answers to the questions you will be asked in an interview. It seems like taking the time to do some research on the company your going to have an interview with, and then adding information to the answers you give them shows you are knowledgeable and informed on what the company is looking for and hold most important.
For example, if I had an interview with a communications company I would look up their website, find out which qualities and skills this company is specifically looking for, then I would look up the products and services they offer, and find out who their competitors are. This why when I am asked what my strengths are applying as a Technician, I would respond with talking about the skills they are looking for and had at the end add how that would help the company to become better.
All these tips are great advice, but I think the one that will work for me is doing research on the company you are wanting to work for and have that information so you can actually have some background knowledge going into the interview. on my next interview I will for sure do some research before I have my interview
I think the most helpful interview tip is doing research on the company first that way you will have some knowledge of what the company does. This I think will also help out on the next best tip which is asking your interviewer your own questions.
Best way to practice this is do some research on a project they way be working on and ask them some questions about It. (i.e had did you fix the problem with to much power going to your chip)
They are all good tips. What I like to do is remain as attentive as possible and start asking them questions. If you show enough interest in the position your chances of getting hired increase. What I intend to do with my next interview is (already have) research the company and see what different contracts they are working on.
They are all good points but the one I find the best is to do research on the job you are applying to. Having knowledge of a company and what it does can give you the edge on any questions or requirements that they may ask or ask of you to do.
From experience, the most beneficial tip is researching the company and AT LEAST knowing the basics of what they do. The more the better. I have been in very awkward situations when potential employers ask questions related to the history of the company, or a "what do you know about this company?" type question.
Before every future interview I have, I am going to research as much as possible about the specific company.
When I applied to my current job as a technician the first thing I did was look up the company and did as much research as I could do about who they are and what they are all about.
