How to conduct a job interview

You managed to get an appointment. Congratulations, but be careful because nothing is won yet. You just made the halfway towards the position you want. We now show the recruiter that he was right to welcome you and show him that you will make a very good feature set … Ready your job interview.

The challenges of recruiting

Think: WIN-WIN
Whether for yourself or the recruiter, you should keep in mind that both come out winners in a future collaboration. For yourself, you find a job that suits you, motivates you and that you will find both professional and personal satisfaction. For the recruiter, he has found in you a faithful collaborator, motivated and willing to invest.

Give your partner the impression that you’re really going to bring something, know how and you will really meet their needs. It is necessary that the person in front of you has the impression that you ask this question: What can I do for you?
And you must behave like a professional. It is necessary to research the accuracy of the missions of the post on the company’s business. You need to adapt to your interlocutor, develop your motivations, arguing the contents of your CV. The ultimate goal of this visit is to get a contract signed by both parties.

Remember that a good job interview is:
- Interactive: You should not always monopolize the floor.
- Dynamic: Do not leave blank during the discussion.
- Organized: The recruiter at the initiative of departure. It usually starts with you the tasks of the post and questions you about your professional background, business, your motivations.
- Restricted: You have a definite time. If the recruiter have 30 minutes to your interview you must be clear and concise.

Preparing for D Day

Here is a “checklist” to take precautions before leaving:
-Re-read your CV and cover letter.
-Re-read the job description and identify the key points of the announcement.
-Information about the company via its website or the Internet generally.
-Know the location of the place of rendezvous and estimate the time to get there. Do not be late.
-Expect a bag, a notepad and pencil to record certain information or to carry documents (including a second CV in case the recruiter would have lost yours).
-Think about your “look”: shaved, combed hair, suit, tailor if you have any.
-Take the questions you want asked and that you will have to answer.

The 6 phases of the job interview

Hosting
You go to the company headquarters. At the reception ask the hiring manager or the person who receives it. Ask what you are told. Go to the recruiter’s office or in a waiting room. As soon as you receive, greet the “pronouncing his surname.” (”Hello Mr. Gardner, Mr. Gardner … Delighted, I’m Tommy. We had an appointment for an interview ….”). People pay more attention to people who remember them.

Presentation of the company and the recruiter
After you have been sitting down, the recruiter will present himself as the company. He will explain his role in recruitment, the time limit for this appointment, the various steps or tests that you joined and represent the tasks of the post.

Your show
Therefore, it is your turn. The recruiter will ask you to introduce yourself. When you are asked to present it is not limited to your name. He will talk about your career and school justifying why you made your choice of careers. Finish by saying that why you’re here today.

Issues
If you express your career without great difficulty and your motivation for the position during the third phase, the interviewer should ask yourself some questions. It may, however, you continue asking about different aspects of your qualities, defects, skills for the job, or other subjects that you have not expressed much earlier, or it seems worth exploring. Also note that recruiters will try to throw you off if they see that you have “too much” prepared your interview. A tip: this phase of destabilization can be in the form of a question a little personal, even almost “aggressive”. Especially not you n’énervez. If you “attack” respond calmly explaining that the statement or question is unfounded. Prove that the wrong recruiter or has a bad opinion. (Evaluation of stress,control or argument).

Your questions.
You are then prompted to ask questions. As we have said before you should bring a battery of questions during the interview. The caller did ask him to show your reasoning for the position and the company. Do not be afraid to be relevant.

Conclude.
The recruiter finds the job interview. It informs you of the next stages of recruitment: date of next appointment date and the response he sends you. Avoid asking “Are you going to hire me …” do not worry, you’ll soon have the answer.
