The last day we talked about the 10 keys to achieving a professional and competitive CV , and to continue with the thread, today we present you the 10 key tips to have a good job interview. When we are called to a job interview, there are certain logical aspects that we all know add or subtract depending on how we do it. Punctuality, dress, way of speaking... All of them are obvious things , which is why we want to focus this post on elements that not all of us may take into account when conducting the interview. Job interview Job interview Prepare for the interview: Normally you will know the company that is going to interview you and the job position they offer. Take advantage of this information and carry out an online investigation of the company , the management team, the number of workers, opinions in forums, complaints, news in the newspapers... You will not always find it but when you do you will see that it is very useful information when it comes to to face the interview and answer questions about the company. Some of the pages you can visit to analyze the company are: Social networks, Google, company website, online newspapers... Paraphrase: Try to show interest, not only with your words, but also by making eye contact, nodding your head, and smiling at appropriate times. Avoid sitting with your legs and/or arms crossed, as this shows a closed mind or defensive attitude. Pay attention and participate in the conversation. Build your own confidence: It is difficult to feel confident in a job interview, given that we understand it as a test, an exam, or a challenge. One of the keys to avoiding the nerves of the moment is to arrive between 15 and 20 minutes before the interview. Analyze the environment, get comfortable, go to the bathroom, ask the receptionist something and create a comfortable environment.
To greet or not to greet : To greet, without a doubt. Unless we are talking about a group interview or the distance between the interviewer and the interviewee is very great, we must greet our interviewer. The ideal is a handshake (regardless of her gender, don't give her two kisses if she is a woman) and always with your hand at the same level as hers. It seems irrelevant, but the way we shake hands demonstrates our predisposition: If our hand is above theirs, it implies dominance, if it is below, submission, and if they are at the same level, equality. Some will think that submission would be his thing since he is your "judge" at that moment, but the reality is that showing yourself as an equal on a Luxembourg WhatsApp Number List professional level is the best way to score points. Do the "Sherlock": This point is difficult to do given you have very little time to observe some relevant element and relate it to something that can help you. As in a negotiation, it is advisable to start with some casual comment or comment outside the work context . For this we will have carried out the previous research explained in point 1, but it may not have been enough or the information we have found may not be useful. In these cases, analyze the room and look for differentiating elements : is the wallpaper a beach? Or a car? Or an athlete? Ask him about the game the other day if you know he likes soccer, comment on the weather if he likes the beach, or comment on how much you want to drive that great car. Soak up everything that surrounds you and try to use it to your advantage. Pay attention to non-verbal communication: It is very important to be attentive to these gestures because they give us very valuable information about the attitude of our interviewer. In fact, it is better to trust gestures than words, since it is difficult to lie with our gestures and not when we speak.
If he has his arms crossed and is leaning back: he is not interested. If you have your hands under the table : You feel insecure. If your feet are under the chair instead of straight: You are expectant. If he is sitting well and with his arms on the table: He is interested. There are a thousand gestures that we can analyze, if you are interested in analyzing this point, search on Google. And don't forget that non-verbal language helps us both to analyze the interviewer's attitude and to realize our own. Don't speak badly about other companies: It doesn't matter if it is the competition or any other company. If you speak badly about your experience at other companies, the interviewer understands that if one day you stop working for them, you will do the same as with the previous ones. All companies have been good in some aspects, and if they have not been you should not include them on your CV. Highlight what you learned and what you were taught and leave the negative elements for last. Confidential information: We all lie sometimes on our CV, but few of us do the opposite, not telling some information to tell it in the interview as information unknown to the company. We don't mean that you shouldn't mention it, it would be best to make some reference so that the interviewer can ask you when following the resume script. For example: "Holding events at the national level" , and when the interviewer asks you, you can tell him how you were one of the organizers of the FIB, which will arouse the interviewer's interest , either on a professional or personal level. If we put everything we know in the resume, we make the mistake of not knowing what to say in the interview when asked, or worse yet, answering the opposite of what you should. Trick questions: It's nothing new, we all know that sooner or later they try to sneak one in and it's usually difficult to get out of it because it catches us off guard. You can't study all the trick questions that a company can ask , but you do have to have the mentality of a politician when answering them . «Do you think that the customer is always right? He doesn't always have it, but you always have to give it to him »« How much would you like to charge? I would like to be paid based on my work hours and my level of responsibility” “Have you ever had problems with a client? Yes, it would seem strange to me that a person who has worked for X years in front of the public has not had problems at some point.
