Psychological Tips For Job Interview
Job interview tips no one mentions
Job interview tips you never heard of.
Career and interview skills
The common interview advice
So you have been told to be confident, to use proper body
language and to dress properly for an interview, right?
I am sure you already know that those tips are known to
every inhabitant on our planet and because everyone does them they are no more
an advantage at job interviews. So what else can you do at an interview to
increase your chance of getting the job?
In addition to these common tips there are some other untold
tips that are actually 10 times more effective than the ones everyone is
repeating. In this post i am going to tell you about some of the uncommon
interview tips.
Job
interview tips no one mentions
Every company posts a job to public when they need someone
to fill a certain space in the organization. And by saying filling a space i am
not referring to doing the job itself but rather to the skills needed to fulfil
the needs of the organization.
Let’s suppose that you applied for an accountant job and
during the interview you were asked how creative you are. If you were reading
the common interview tips everyone says then most probably you will try to show
the interviewer how creative you are while in fact this kind of job might need
a person who loves routine, who can do the same boring tasks everyday and who
doesn't need a space to be creative.
In other words there are no model answers to interview
questions because each company has different needs. This is why the most
important interview tip is to collect information about the company's needs
(and not the company itself) before you go for the job.
The
interviewer is a human
Many people especially new graduates believe that the
interviewer is a super hero who is ultimately confident and who has no
insecurities. In fact in some interviews the interviewer could be more worried
than the candidate or he could be feeling more tensed before the interview.
For some unknown reason candidates believe that interviewers
are omnipotent creatures and that's why they feel terrified during the
interview.
Once you understand that you are meeting a normal human you won’t
need to fake the feelings of confidence and you will find yourself much more at
ease.
Good
traits can get you rejected
Most people who give interview advice say that you must show
all of your good traits to the interviewer but in fact one of your good traits
could prevent you from getting the job.
Let’s suppose you applied for a job in a company that
doesn't have much growth opportunities for employees. In such case showing that
you are extremely ambitious might let the interviewer believe that you are not
the type of person who will stay in the job for long.
In other words, the good traits you need to display depend
on the type of job you are applying for. In some cases acting confident and
assertive can intimidate the interviewer and prevent him from giving you the
job.
