Being ready for an interview is really important. It can increase your chance to get the job. For that reason, you should prepare before the interview. Here are some tips for “How to prepare for a job interview?”.
1. Learn More About the Company
After setting the interview, you should search about the company and the recruiter. First step to get the information is search the company’s official website. Most of the companies have their own website and some information are written such as recruitment process, what the main services&producst, where the company is etc. Try to find out as much as possible. And then you should “google it”. Write down one of the search engine and find ou what it looks like. Another alternative to search is Linkedin. You can search the recruiter or the company’s employees. How long do they work in the company? You can try to predict turnover; if it is high, there might be a problem about sustainability. If you want, you can search the company’s social media account too. You might find some answers to your questions.
2. Study More Your Own CV
The interview process is not only about who you are, it is also related to how you can explain yourself and your achievements. List your achievements and try to find some figures to approve them such as how many projects did you achieve or how much money/time did you save etc. In the deep down, you may have so many experince and technical knowledge etc. But you need to show to the recruiters and your potential managers. For that reason, you should prepare for the interview. You should tell your experience on your own loudly. Maybe you can record your voice while talking and then you can listen your own voice. How does it sound? Try and try again until feel comfortable and sounds good.
3. Read the Job Description Carefully
Check the job description before your interview. Read carefully and try to match it with your CV. Each item should be read and matched with your background. Try to find best examples to fit the listed items.
