Must- Do Things Before a Job Interview
2
Overview
  • What you do before an interview will determine
    how well you do during one. Many potential
    candidates prepare and practice for interview and
    assess their strengths and shortcomings in order
    to get the best outcomes. It better prepares
    students for the interview and ensures that they
    provide effective and meaningful responses to all
    questions.
  • In this essay, we'll talk about how
    important it is to prepare for interviews. list
    the benefits of preparing for them and outline a
    few specific things to do before any interview.

3
Research the company
  • Along with investigating the firm, find out who
    could be interviewing you and do some study on
    them as well. Look through their professional
    social media profiles and their hobbies. Finding
    common ground with your interviewer and bringing
    it up during the interview may be quite
    beneficial.
  • If you add that you both like hiking, for
    example, you immediately stand out interviewer,
    ensuring they take additional consideration
    toward you after you leave.

4
Prepare a set of questions
  • Most interviewers allow the applicant to ask
    questions towards the end of the session. Having
    questions prepared at the conclusion of the
    interview generally indicates that you are more
    interested in the job and want to learn more
    about the organization. Consider the following
  • How would you describe the company's culture?
  • Is there room for growth in this position?
  • What criteria do you use to evaluate employee
    performance?
  • What is the most challenging part of your job?
  • What is it about working for this firm that you
    like the most?

5
Conduct a mock interview
  • Conduct a mock interview with someone you trust
    or who has interviewing experience. Assign them a
    list of questions to ask about your position.
    Encourage them to come up with or find new
    questions without telling you what they are.
    Take whatever feedback they have on how to
    improve your performance at the end of the
    interview. Repeat the fake interview once you're
    ready.

6
Print out physical copies of your resume
  • Many interviewers like to see a real copy of
    your resume during the interview, even if they
    have it on file. Before your interview, print
    several copies in case they ask you a question.
  • Furthermore, if they ask any queries about
    your resume, you may easily refer to it to
    clarify their worries or questions.

7
Eat a healthy meal before the interview.
  • Eat a healthy meal at least three hours
    before your interview. Think about foods that are
    high in protein, healthy fats, and fiber, like
  • Toasted whole grain
  • Spinach Avocado
  • Eggs in their entirety

8
Clean and iron your clothes well
  • At least a day before your interview, ensure you
    have a clean set of clothes. Iron and press
    formal clothes such as dress pants and dress
    shirts to free them of wrinkles.
  • Additionally, pack make-up and deodorant for
    small touch-ups just before your interview, if
    necessary.

9
Dress for the role
  • Select a dress that is suited for the role.
    Choose clothes that are a level above the role's
    regular requirements for the best outcomes. If
    the job needs business casual wear, for example,
    dress for the interview in business professional
    gear, such as a suit and tie or a skirt and
    blouse.

10
Write thank you notes for delivering after the
interview
  • Thank you letters are an excellent approach
    to establish a lasting impression because they
    provide an item for interviewers to remember you
    by. Before your interview, write a few thank you
    cards. If you know how many people you'll meet
    or interview before the interview, make sure you
    send out the same number of thank-you cards.
    Before you leave each interview, write a single
    thank-you message.

11
Determine the fastest route to the interview
  • Use mobile apps to keep track of local
    traffic and plan the quickest route to your
    interview. Consider the time of day your
    interview will take place and whether or not
    there will be any traffic issues in your region
    at that time.
  • Determine how long it will take you to drive
    there and allow yourself that amount of time
    before departing.

12
Create a note with critical terms and names.
  • During an interview, it's not uncommon to forget
    your interviewer's name or other key keywords.
    Take a tiny letter with you and tuck it away with
    your resume copies in a folder. Throughout your
    interview, refer to it as needed.

13
Turn your cell phone off before the interview
  • Bringing your phone into the interview is
    almost always a must. Consider turning it off or
    silencing it if you don't need it. Make sure your
    phone doesnt vibrate or produce any other tones
    that can disrupt the interview.

14
Sleep well the night before
  • Make sure you get enough rest before your
    interview. When answering questions, you will be
    more awake and alert if you do so. You pick up on
    small indications from the interviewer, such as
    their body language or tone, because you're
    alert. By mirroring their physical posture or
    other gestures, you can adapt to the interview by
    understanding their attitude.

15
Prepare for different types of interviews
  • Interviews could be divided into three
    categories. The focus of a behavioural interview
    is on how you react in work-related
    circumstances. The majority of the questions used
    in job interview practice give concrete scenarios
    for you to consider and respond to. Experiential
    interviews concentrate on your previous
    experiences and prior decisions.

16
Consider stories from previous positions
  • Interviewers frequently ask questions that
    encourage you to describe events from prior jobs.
    This offers them a better idea of how you could
    respond in comparable scenarios in their place of
    business. Consider your prior roles and
    noteworthy scenarios in which you succeeded
    before your interview. You can use them as
    examples to respond to specific queries.
