We all know interviews can be overwhelming
and intimidating; here are a few tips to worry less about interviews and obtain
employment. The day before the interview leave yourself enough time to look
over the job posting, do research on the company, and take 5 minutes to reflect
on each job you have had and experiences you could potentially use. Take
advantage of Career Services and book a Mock Interview, which provides
excellent practice by virtue of a simulated interview, or go on Interview
Stream and answer interview questions and listen to your responses. This is a
great way to refresh yourself on the job you’re applying to as well as previous
experiences you have had.
In addition I write down my top 3 strengths and weaknesses
with a statement on how I am improving the 3 weaknesses. In my experience I
have been asked to identify my strengths and weaknesses, therefore when the
question arises I am able to quickly and confidently answer. I also like to write
down the most important skills for the position because it reminds me which
skills to highlight and discuss in more detail. By following these tips you can
fight the nervousness of interviews and improve your chances of employment by
being confident and communicating effectively.
