1. Tell us about yourself
Erina Collins, a recruitment agency in Los Angeles declared often there is a surprising difference between when we read application when dealing with someone with the applicant. "Experience show, a cover letter that optimism does not necessarily indicate that
suitors as well as optimism, "says Erina. When the interviewer ask a simple thing like "In your eyes, who are you?" or "Tell me something about you", many applicants look the interviewer
with confusion and then immediately became unsure of himself.
"I feel mediocre" or "not much I can tell about myself "is often the answer to the selected applicants as an effort to humble themselves. During this time many articles careers Conventional estimates suggest that you should grovel whenever possible, in an attempt to steal the hearts of the interviewer. "But this modern era. The answers are too modest and much-spoiled just stale show that you actually are not sure of yourself. And companies today do not need employees like that, "said Erina.
Eliana Burthon experience, public relations staff of a five-star hotel in New York might be interesting to observe. When the interviewer gave him one minutes to talk about himself, Eliana says "I'm Eliana Burthon, the first child of five siblings. Since high school, I became active in
the school newspaper. There I write, interviewing people around me and relate to them. From there I realized how interesting to meet people, discuss and learn many things from them. Beyond that, I love music, reading and traveling. When i m in college, I often write the experience of the streets me, or just give a reference tapes are being sold to newspaper my campus. " Although not providing answers flowery, what is disclosed Eliana on her show that she was open, friendly and curious. "The answer is intelligent and effective way to describes how he is implicitly stating that he feel worthy be placed in the position he's after. Interviewers need
answers like that. Quite short, but expressed optimism that natural, "Erina said Collins. If you are called to interview, prepare yourself as best he could with good. Confidence and demonstrate that you be yourself is paramount. The interviewer does not need to answer the flowering-
flowers, fiery especially hypocritical. On the first occasion, they usually want to see how the applicant's self-respect. Therefore, make a few points about your skills, things that
you like and want for your future. If you have found points, the practice put it all in an answer
short smart and optimistic.
2. Beware trick question
Anyone ideally not like to answer questions cornered. But that's a fact when you are interviewed.
Often a lot of unexpected things that made the interviewer and often makes you slip. In this case, Erina give examples of her experiences when interviewing an applicant about why
he decided to move the work. "When I asked 'what made you decide to move work?
did you say, the work environment comfortable enough right? 'and the applicant'sreplied 'I do not like my boss. Often he makes me annoyed with additional jobs and that too did not make my salary ride. 'I then thought, what would he say if one day out of my company would have been no different to what is bad he revealed to me about his old company, "said Erina. The point, taktislah in giving answers. Never give an answer which disfigure your old workplace or any
negative connotations. It's better if you answered "I want rhythm is regular and scheduled work. Regarding wages, the real workplace is no longer a problem, but I am certainly glad that there is
opportunities for salary increases. "Or if you asked about your weaknesses, it is better not to answer "I am often late and forget of time. "But the answer is more tactical, such as" sometimes I do forgetful, but some time it has improved because I always recorded everything in the agenda book. "or" I'm often annoyed when working with colleagues that slow, but we were discussing how best to how to complete the work more quickly. "
In the interview, the interviewer is always trying to scrape as much as possible about the applicant's personality. Sometimes trivial questions such as "It's have a girlfriend? There are intentions to marry in the near future? "Is often taken rush by the applicant with the answer such as "Already, the plan we're getting married later this year. "In fact, according to Erina, the answer may cover your employment opportunities. "Companies always want to convinced that the prospective employee will only focus on the job them, especially in the early years of service. The answer that you are getting married in the near future instead indicate that the company is not the focus you the truth, but only as a distraction, "says Erina while adding that it would be better if you answer "already, but I really wanted to have enough work experience before
decided to get married. "
3. Spirit and body language
In job interviews, appearance is not number one but being a support that will determine. Therefore in addition to well-dressed, not Nudity (except you want to become porn star), striking or many knacks, show good body language. Never folded his arms across his chest at the interview, because it gives impression that you are a rigid and defensive. Ideally, the hand left free to express your words, of course with not excessive.
During the interview, make eye contact is intense. Applicant which often make eye contact indicates a desire to be trusted and seriousness to give an answer. Relax and smile occasionally to show that you personally are warm. Generally, companies applicants who likes fun. Reduce the words "I feel ..." or "I am not ..." and best use "I think ... '," according
my opinion .. "," I believe ... "," I'm optimistic ... ". The words "I feel ... "or" I am not ... "impress you more often suspected, by feel, not too confident and did not control problem.
Well, ready to compete in the world of work? Importantly, prepare yourself well and never underestimate the slightest question in job interview. Congratulations to compete! (Lily Bertha Kartika / various
