Question:

Interview guide for interviewees:

Before managers move into positions where they have to interview others, they usually must navigate some interviews themselves. Its therefore useful to apply some of what we discussed in this chapter to navigating ones own interviews. Beyond trying to determine how you would perform the technical parts of the job, interviewers will try to discover what you are like as a person. In other words, how you get along with other people and your desire to work. They will look here at how you behave. For example, they will note whether you respond concisely, cooperate fully in answering questions, state personal opinions when relevant, and keep to the subject at hand; these are very important elements in influencing the interviewers decision. There are six things to do to get an extra edge in the interview.

1. Preparation is essential

Before the interview, learn all you can about the employer, the job, and the people doing the recruiting. On the Web, using social media, or looking through business periodicals, find out what is happening in the employers field. Try to unearth the employers problems. Be ready to explain why you think you would be able to solve such problems, citing some of your specific accomplishments to make your case.

2. Uncover the interviewers real needs

Spend as little time as possible briefly answering your interviewers first questions and as much time as possible getting him or her to describe his or her needs. Determine what the person is expecting to accomplish, and the type of person he or she feels is needed. Use open-ended questions such as, Could you tell me more about that?

3. Relate yourself to the interviewers needs

Once you know the type of person your interviewer is looking for and the sorts of problems he or she wants solved, you are in a good position to describe your own accomplishments in terms of the interviewers needs. Start by saying something like, One of the problem areas youve said is important to you is similar to a problem I once faced. Then state the problem, describe your solution, and reveal the results.

4. Think before answering

Answering a question should be a three-step process: PauseThink Speak. Pause to make sure you understand what the interviewer is driving at, think about how to structure your answer, and then speak. In your answer, try to emphasize how hiring you will help the interviewer solve his or her problem.

5. Remember that appearance and enthusiasm are important

Appropriate clothing, good grooming, a firm handshake, and energy are important. Maintain eye contact. In addition, speak with enthusiasm, nod agreement, and remember to take a moment to frame your answer (pause, think, speak) so that you sound articulate and fluent.

6. Make a good first impression

Remember that in most cases interviewers make up their minds about the applicant early in the interview. A good first impression may turn to bad during the interview, but its unlikely. Bad first impressions are almost impossible to overcome. Experts suggest paying attention to the following key interviewing considerations:

Appropriate clothing

Good grooming

A firm handshake

The appearance of controlled energy

Pertinent humor and readiness to smile

A genuine interest in the employers operation and alert attention when the interviewer speaks

Pride in past performance

An understanding of the employers needs and a desire to serve them

Questions to be answer:

1. Why is it necessary for interviewees to prepare for their interviews? Give your response in your own words.

2. After reading the above six points, write a paragraph for each guideline describing why it is important and why interviewees should consider it in order to have a successful interview.

3. Describe in your own words what you've learned from these successful interview rules.
