Job Interview Guide For Applicants

career development by helping to place them in positions that match their qualifications and career objectives.
The following tips will help you in preparing for your next interview:
Know The Company
Do your research! What you know about the company will help you
demonstrate that you have interest in the company and the position. This shows initiative and motivation. Take notes on the history of the company, their vision and mission statement, the organizational culture and structure, their successes as well as their services or products. Research their website and their annual report. Also, take a close look at the human resources position. Understand the core competencies and how your knowledge, skills, past experience and abilities will align with the position to bring added value to the organization.
Know Yourself
Take time to think about your skills and accomplishments in your personal life, work life, and school life. Write down everything that comes to mind. This will help you uncover hidden or overlooked skills and experiences. What you might think is a modest accomplishment might be the one that makes the biggest impression. Once you have listed your accomplishments, think about what skills lead to each accomplishment, especially those that fit the HR position’s requirements. Think of some examples of how you have developed these skills from those experiences and how you have learned to apply them to future experiences.
The First Impression
You never get a second chance to make a good first impression. Arriving on time means to be there 10-15 minutes early. You should be well groomed. A sloppy or unprofessional appearance will leave a strong negative impression and could be a negative factor in an employment decision. Dress for success. Make sure you are formally dressed for the meeting. The goal is to be taken seriously as a professional. Make sure that your clothes are clean and pressed. And most importantly, be confident and positive.
Follow Up Right Away
Always send a thank you letter to each interviewer immediately. Be certain that names are spelled correctly and use proper titles. Thank the interviewer for taking time out of their busy schedule to meet with you. Show that you were paying attention during the interview by mentioning some of the key points made during the interview. Express your feelings about the organization, people, human resources team and position. You can express your enthusiasm about the prospect of representing the organization. This is not intended to sell your qualifications. Keep it short. It should be less than one page and it should be mailed within 24 hours.
