Dear all,
Here are some information about the interview.
An interview is an exchange information with a specific purpose between two people and involves the asking and answering of question.
Three elements of the interview are:
Interaction
Purpose
Exchange
Three types of standard interviews :
Selection interviews
Information gathering interviews
Persuasion interviews
Types of interview questions :
Behavior
Attitude, opinion
Credential
Knowledge, experience
Imaginative
Methods of interview questions:
Open, closed questions
Primary, secondary questions
Neutral, leading questions
Before, during and after interview is very important to :
Learn all you can about the company or organization. Employers expect you to arrive knowing background information about the organization. If you don't, you look like you are not really interested in the job. You have to be able to answer the critical question of why you would like to work for that employer. Research helps you formulate intelligent and appropriate questions to ask in your interview.
Be prepared to answer and ask questions.
Prepare your clothes.
Prepare papers for your interview, including extra copies of your resume, job reference lists, reference letters, and any other information that you may wish to have with you.
Arrive 10 to 15 minutes early. Don't take any chances that you might be even one minute late.
Treat all people you encounter with professionalism and kindness. That receptionist or secretary or maintenance man may offer his or her opinion of you to the boss. It will count.
Be aware of your non-verbal behaviors.
Listen very carefully to each question you are asked and give thoughtful, to-the-point and honest answers. Ask for clarification if you don't understand a question.
When the interviewer concludes the interview, offer a firm handshake and make eye contact.
After the interview, make notes right away so you don't forget critical details.
Always send a thank you letter to the interviewer immediately. If there were several people that interviewed you, send them each a thank you note.
Don't call the employer back immediately etc.
All the best,
Zeki
