Successful Job Interview Preparation

Having a successful job interview isn't that difficult, though it is not just a case of arriving with your CV and hoping for the best. Your main aim during an interview is to sell yourself to the person conducting the interview and the only sure-fire way of doing that is to prepare. Remember that the best salespeople are the ones that do their homework.


Even if you have great experience and are knowledgeable about the job you are applying for, you won't succeed unless you know something about the company. Never go to an interview without learning about the company first. You need to show them that you would be good for their company and arriving without this vital knowledge is no way to do this.

A good and less time consuming way to get to know about a company is to look up their website. You can get all of the general knowledge about them that way, including the names of key people and their job titles. You should sift through most of their pages, including the pages that show samples of their work and/or products.

When you are contacted about an interview try to find out the name of the person who will be interviewing you. It looks professional to be able to address them by their name without them having to tell you. It shows you are serious and are someone who does their homework.

If you get nervous at interviews it is a good idea to practice answering the questions you think you'll be asked beforehand. Practice the wording you will use and also the tone of your voice. Keep your answers short as possible, while at but with as much detail as you can manage.

Decide what clothes you are going to wear the day before the interview. That way you can make sure there are no wrinkles or marks on them. Pick clothes that are suitable for the job. If you will be working in an office, ladies should avoid short skirts and low-cut tops. For a man, a dark coloured suit is a safe choice.

The day before the interview get everything ready that you will need. take an extra CV in case you are asked and a pocket notebook which may come in handy. If you have had any business cards printed, take one along, it looks business-like and may prevent the interviewer from forgetting your name.
