Interview preparation - The Talent Recruitment Agency.

Part of having a successful interview comes from taking the time to prepare. Winging it rarely turns out well, and an interviewer can sense ill preparation from a mile away. So, how should you prepare? We recommend you go over the job description several times so that you are capable of discussing the position and the requirements associated with it comfortably.

Think about how you can demonstrate the desired skills with the experience you have.

Review your resume and know it well. It’s what got you to this point so you impressed a recruiter with it. Just be aware that your interviewer may not have read it thoroughly or remember it, so refresh their memory during your interview.

One thing you can do to help your chances is make sure what you wrote in your resume matches what you say on the interview.

Dress from head-to-toe in interview clothes. Not only will this prevent any mishaps but it will get you in the proper frame of mind, SHOW YOU MEAN BUSINESS.

You can also prepare by understanding the types of questions you may be asked.

• Soft skills interview questions or interpersonal skill interview questions: These questions focus on the attributes that make you a good listener or reliable employee. They include organization, communication (you can show off this skill during your interview), teamwork, punctuality. By the way, there’s no (or only a rare) excuse for being late to a job interview.

• Communication skills interview questions: These will focus on the style you use to communicate. Be prepared with an anecdote or example of how you send and receive messages at work.

• Analytical skills interview questions: These questions aim to discover how you problem solve or make decisions in different situations. Once again, be prepared with an example.
