You finally landed that coveted job interview. The hard part is over, but now another major challenge is on the horizon: the <strong><em>actual<\/em><\/strong> interview.<\/p>\n<p>For those who are wondering how to prepare for a job interview, read on to learn how to go into it confident and ready to hire:<\/p>\n<h3><u>Before the Interview &#8230;<\/u><\/h3>\n<h5>Analyze the job description<\/h5>\n<p>It&#8217;s a waste of time to go into an interview for a position you don&#8217;t want or, worse, for which you&#8217;re not actually qualified. When applying for a job there are several components for ensuring that this is the right gig for you. According to career communications coach Mishri Someshwar, you need to make sure you know what&#8217;s at the core of the job, what skills you need, and how you can demonstrate them.<\/p>\n<h5>Research the company<\/h5>\n<p>It sounds basic, but you&#8217;d probably be surprised at the staggering number of potential employees who walk into an interview without researching the company&#8217;s background or even visiting its website. Showing up with virtually no knowledge of the company is an excellent way of getting laughed out of the room.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Learn the full name of the company, founding year, what its mission is, what it does, where it&#8217;s successful, and where it isn&#8217;t. How it talks about itself and how rivals, media or third parties describe it. Make sure to review its review on Glassdoor to see what past and current employees think,&#8221; Someshwar suggests.<\/p>\n<p>Tiffany Gibson, creator of Get the Job App, points out another important aspect of your research: knowing the interview location and how to get there efficiently before it starts.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Drive there the day before, so that on the day of the interview you don&#8217;t get lost,&#8221; she says. &#8220;This will help you remain calm and somewhat relaxed. And on interview day make sure you check the traffic report before you leave.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h5>Really want the job<\/h5>\n<p>Some people want a job just to have a job &#8212; and that&#8217;s perfectly respectable in today&#8217;s economy &#8212; but if you&#8217;re not in it to win it, it&#8217;ll show in the interview.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Don&#8217;t bother if you&#8217;re going just because you want <strong><em>any<\/em><\/strong> job. Most interviewers can sniff your ambivalence a mile away,&#8221; says Someshwar.<\/p>\n<h3><u>During the Interview &#8230;<\/u><\/h3>\n<h5>Be ready to converse<\/h5>\n<p>You&#8217;re not going into the interview just to answer questions. You&#8217;re expected to ask questions too &#8212; to feel out the position a little more, get a better understanding of what&#8217;s required, and get answers to anything else about the job.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This isn&#8217;t an inquisition, or at least shouldn&#8217;t be,&#8221; Someshwar says. &#8220;Even if your interviewer is one of the rare few who acts that way, do what you can to make this a conversation and answer and ask questions with that approach in mind.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h5>Believe in yourself<\/h5>\n<p>What sets you apart from other candidates? Your skill set, for one &#8212; but also your confidence. Go in with your head high, ready to slay.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Remember, <a href=\"https:\/\/lenpenzo.com\/blog\/id1422-donate-charity-bah-humbug.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">this is not charity<\/a>,&#8221; Someshwar reminds. &#8220;They&#8217;re not interviewing you out of the kindness of their heart. Come in knowing you have value to bring, and show that confidence through warmth, curiosity and authority.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h5>Ask good questions<\/h5>\n<p>Jot down a list of questions before your interview, then weed out the weak ones. Practice brevity, too; keep questions tight and intelligent.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Ask questions about what the goals for the position are, what the company&#8217;s long term ambitions are, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.investopedia.com\/articles\/personal-finance\/092515\/10-habits-successful-people.asp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">how they measure success<\/a>,&#8221; suggests Someshwar. &#8220;These are universally excellent questions that show you&#8217;re curious, ambitious and motivated to succeed.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3><u>After the Interview &#8230;<\/u><\/h3>\n<h5>Send a thank you note<\/h5>\n<p>Sending thank-you notes is a lost art these days, but they&#8217;re perhaps never more important than when sent as a follow-up to an interview. E-mail is okay, but a hard card via snail mail is better. Personalize the note and reference a memorable part of the interview for an extra edge.<\/p>\n<p>Bryan Clayton, CEO of GreenPal, best described as &#8220;Uber for lawn care,&#8221; seconds that sentiment.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;d recommend sending a thank-you note a day or two after the interview, but place less emphasis on the note itself,&#8221; he says. &#8220;Rather, send an article or a piece of research that relates to the business and current trends, or ties the content to your interview discussion. That way you show that you&#8217;re engaged and in-tune with what&#8217;s going on.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h5>Keep in touch<\/h5>\n<p>The human resources department is the admin connection between you and the hiring team, so make sure you get in touch within 10 days if you haven&#8217;t heard anything after your interview. Don&#8217;t be too eager or pushy, however. Emphasize your interest, but <a href=\"https:\/\/lenpenzo.com\/blog\/id36409-how-to-negotiate-a-higher-salary-with-potential-employers-3.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">play it cool<\/a>. You don&#8217;t want to blow your chances by being naggy and annoying. HR has other work to do besides field your phone calls and e-mails every other day.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><span style=\"font-size: smaller;\">Photo Credit: kalyan02<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You did it!
