You’ve been looking for a graduate job for months, you’re in your student room just doing nothing. You have sent hundreds of emails and updated your Resume countless times… And finally you have received the call. Yes, that call that we are all looking forward to and at the same time we are so afraid. You have been called for a job interview. It’s time to be excited, right?

Now is the time to prepare for the job interview, you cannot afford to be unprepared, all the details are important. In this article, we will show you all you need to know to prepare for an excellent job interview, something that you won’t find in any student guide.

It is essential that you know to which company and position you are applying. A very common mistake when we sent many Resumes is not having recorded in a rigorous manner which companies and positions we have applied. Is really bad when they call us and we do not really know what they are talking about. Drop all the cases. Postpone the study for later, or write in Google “do my essay in UK” and start preparing for a job interview.

To prepare for the interview, in addition to following the next steps, is that you look for someone to practice. You can sit at a table and pretend that you are in a real office in front of the person who is going to hire you, that way you can have the opinion of someone who has been watching how you behave during the whole process, and at the same time will help you to make a script that you would like to highlight at each moment of the interview.

  1. Start with you

Yes, you have already sent your CV to the company and that is why you have been called for the interview, but that does not mean you do not have to continue working on this aspect. Take some time to identify the qualities and skills that you have that can benefit the company, but remember not to consider as a good quality how good you are in drinking games. Expressing clearly what you can contribute as a worker is something that makes a good impression.

  1. Do some research

About the company, of course. You know about it and you are interested, if not, you would not have applied, however, you still have things to know. Find out about their objectives, their departments and, above all, about the area in which you want to work. Showing this type of interest can benefit you a lot.

  1. Prepare to talk

You may be one of those people who at the time of the face to face are more introvert, but in this case there can be no room for shyness. You do not have to talk much, but you have to be secure. You can practice in front of the mirror some questions.

  1. Don’t be aggressive

Yes, you need to work on this before the time comes. Precisely because we know that interviews are made to put us to the test, do not fall into a mistake like this. Answering defensive questions or using very sharp expressions can play against you.

  1. Prepare your Resume

You have already sent it (that is why you have been called for the interview) but taking several copies at that time can be of support when talking with the interviewer or highlighting some of your skills.

  1. Take care of your image

We know that your skills and your training are more important, but the first impression can do a lot for you. Having a neat appearance and dressing formally will make you look more professional.job interview

  1. Go one step ahead

Try to play with some advantage. Check online what are the most common questions in the interviews and practice your answers at home. Doing this will allow you to control your nervous feelings when the time comes.

  1. Don’t be late

This is the last step before your interview and one of the most important. The bad impression given by unpunctuality has no solution so try to arrive 5 minutes before the time of your interview.
All done and still did not get the desired position? Do not be discouraged, in the future you will get better work. Just do not forget these tips.
