Before the Interview
Be on time. Being on time (or early) is usually interpreted by the interviewer as evidence of your commitment, dependability, and professionalism.
Be positive and try to make others feel comfortable. Show openness by leaning into a greeting with a firm handshake and smile. Don't make negative comments about current or former employers. Relax. Think of the interview as a conversation, not an interrogation. And remember, the interviewer is just as nervous about making a good impression on you
Research the company and position before the interview, You can get company information from their Web site. Memorize important facts, Make sure your interview clothes are clean and pressed a few days before hand, Be on time, Take good-quality copies of your resume on a nice grade of paper, Take more copies than you will possibly need - just in caps, Store the copies in a folder where they will stay clean and unwrinkled
H- Prepare questions for the interview, Your research on the company and position should lead you to questions for starts, Be prepared to discuss past projects, Review the most relevant for that is where the focus of discussion might be, Make good eye contact, Listen carefully and wait your turn to speak, Make sure you understand a question before you attempt to answer it, Always tell the truth on applications and in an interview, Ask what will happen next with respect to your application for the position, Satisfy any request for additional information within 24 hours, Your ability to follow-up is very much part of the test, and not outside it, Follow up diligently with your staffing agency's recruiter or client account manager, It is their job to meet their client's needs, and they could use your help in making sure the follow-up is done right, Resume has to build very professionally, The following are perhaps the most popular of resume styles. Either is suitable, but we recommend a reverse-chronological resume in most cases, and Functional only for senior management and strategic roles,
Reverse Chronological: Begins with a professional summary with a bulleted list including total experience, specialization, key achievements. Then follows a tabular list of technical skill areas and specific skills - these include applications, systems, languages, packages and buzz words. Following the skill summary, list employment history and experience with the most recent position first. Include client, title, job description and date, and emphasize accomplishments. End with education and certifications,
Functional: Resume begins with a professional summary that lists primary functional skills (e.g. functional analysis, project management, reorganization, business strategy etc.). This is followed by skills and significant achievements for each of the primary functional skills. Follow that with a tabular summary of employment - employer names and dates of employment. End with education and certifications,
Creative Resumes : Create multiple versions of your resume, each providing additional detail on specific skills. Writing multiple resumes can be time-consuming, but it's a small price to pay for the job you want. Be absolutely clear and honest about your capabilities and skill levels, If you're applying for a specific job, research the position and company. Pay attention to the job requirements, and highlight your qualifications as they reflect the hiring company's needs.
