How to prepare for an interview
Here are 4 basic tips you should know when preparing for an interview:
Research about the company
(remember to take notes)
Before going into any interview, you should understand what the company does and its mission statement. This may be asked in the interview.
You can also research the history of the company and any key achievements.
It is always a good idea to read through your notes just before the interview, even in the waiting room.
Practice interview questions and prepare some answers
Preparing some interview questions and answers is always a good idea.
Try and have a scenario for each question which you can relate to, this can be from previous work experience you may have done or a project you worked on.
Check the route
Make sure you know where you are going before the day.
Always check for any traffic, bus routes or train timings to ensure you get to the place at least 10 minutes before the interview is scheduled to start.
Follow up after the interview
After the interview send a follow up email to the hiring manager.
This will help show the hiring manager that you are interested in getting the job and are eager to start work.
