Also, have a list of your own questions to ask the employer ready.
In addition to indicating what you know about the company, you should also try to develop a connection with your interviewer. Know the interviewer's name, and use it during the job interview. (If you're not sure of the name, call and ask prior to the interview. And, listen very carefully during introductions.
Be on time for the interview. On-time means five to ten minutes early. If need be, drive to the interview location ahead of time so you know exactly where you are going and how long it will take to get there. Give yourself a few extra minutes to visit the restroom, check your outfit, and calm your nerves.
Always follow up with a thank-you note reiterating your interest in the position. You can also include any details you may have forgotten to mention during your interview. If you interview with multiple people from the same company, send each one a personal note. Send your thank-you email within 24 hours of your interview.
A one-on-one interview is the most common and widely used type of interview. Under this approach, single interviewer interviews single candidates and these interviews are held in series. In such an interview, general or technical types of questions (depending upon the nature of the job) are raised by the interviewer with a single motive, i.e. to check whether or not the candidate is fit for the post.
Generally, the telephone/Video call interview is a pre-screening interview in which the interviewer analyzes the candidate through a phone call. Such calls can be made on a short notice also. A Telephonic interview is not a reliable way of the interview because the interviewer is unaware of the person on the other side.
A panel interview is a type of interview which is conducted between the single candidate and a panel of interviewers. A panel of interviewers may include 2 or more experts from the specific field. In such an interview, questions are raised by every member of the panel in order and the interviewee is asked to answer them.
This approach is considered more scientific and advanced than a one-on-one interview because appropriate questions and sound judgment can be expected from the interviewer’s panel, which results in the accurate selection of an employee.
Interviews which are conducted at restaurants or cafes are known as lunch interview. In such interview, the interviewer can easily evaluate interpersonal skills and communication skills, along with table manners of an interviewee. It is obvious that such interview includes food or drinks. So an interviewee must make an order carefully so that he/she can easily focus on food and questions at the same time.
Here comes the tricky part!!!! Yes Salary negotiation is pretty tricky Good news, you’re not alone: very few people enjoy negotiating salary. The trouble is, failing to ask for what you deserve, especially at the offer stage. Of course, knowing that negotiation is OK and feeling comfortable doing it are two very different things. So how can you get comfy talking about money with hiring managers? The same way you get to Carnegie Hall — practice, practice, practice. Beyond that, it pays to have a few tricks up your sleeve.
