Selling Yourself on a Job Interview
If you want to make someone hire you, all you need to do is focus on the interviewer’s needs. Doing that will make you a very irresistable applicant. First, find out as much about the company as you can so you can ask informed questions about the job. Make sure you also study the job description that you applied for so you know what the interviewer will expect out of you. Be on time and dress a notch above what is expected for the position you are interviewed for.
During the interview, use specific examples to explain why you’re perfect for the job. Ask intelligent questions to show your genuine interest in the position, such as why the position is open. Demonstrate your problem-solving abilities by identifying a problem you might encounter at work and discuss how you intend to solve it.
Focusing on your interviewer’s needs takes your mind off your nervousness and will make you appear confident and insightful.
