Blasting the Interview!

Congratulations for coming this far, after scaling major hurdles of the SELECTION PROCESS, here you are finally given the chance to be interviewed. This is of course, a major obstacle for many job applicants. Although they may have the qualifications, experience and a proven track record, they may lose out to a candidate who 'interviews better.

Interviews are a crucial part of the recruitment process for most organizations. Their purpose is to give the selector a chance to assess you and for you to demonstrate your abilities and personality. It’s also an opportunity for you to assess them and to make sure the organization and position are right for you.

So what are interviewer's looking for?

Experience has shown us that to have a good interview it comes down to the job seeker being well prepared and confident. A candidate who can answer questions in a way which is acceptable (but not necessarily right) to the interviewer, someone who knows something about their potential employers business and the post they hope to fill. These are really the basic components of any candidate who 'interviews well'. There are undoubtedly other aspects employers may look for in relation to specific posts - having their own ideas, articulate, thinking on their feet, aspects which will be related to the job and to the company's preference in employees.
