The interview aims to ensure that the company ensures that the candidate has the necessary training and skills to fill the vacancy.
On the part of the candidate, the interview is used to learn more about the job offer and, if it fits, try to convince the recruiter of what is the right person to be part of the team.
These are the points that you must keep in mind to attend an interview:
1. The evaluation starts from when they contact you
It may seem that this call is simply to inform you, but the way to respond and the ability to react gives information to the recruiter.
It is important that when they call you remember the position and the company to which you applied. That shows that you are interested.
To do this you can check the vacancies you have applied for in your profile . Enter the "my applications" section, there you will have a list of the applications you have made. So the next time they call you they won't catch you off guard.
But what happens when they call you and you can't answer the call?
Answer the recruiter, if you can pick up the phone, and tell him that you are very interested, but in those moments you cannot attend him because you are working or you are at the doctor. Ask his name and ask if you can call him back later .
When you have that time, call him and ask for him. It may be the first step to enter the process.
2. Know the company
Before applying to your vacancies, you will have already, but when they call you for the interview you should check, at least:
- Sector and competition
- Company related news
- Your social networks
- The values of the company
- And read the evaluations of collaborators and ex-collaborators in CompuTrabajo
All this information gathering is helpful to answer the question Why do you want to work with us?
Your mind should not go blank, nor give vague explanations. The answer must be firm and show that you know the company and that you know what you really like about it.
It is time to show you how you fit in the company.
3. The position you will occupy
Another of the key aspects during the interview is knowing the position and knowing what tasks you are going to develop.
Rehearse answers about what your goals are if you get the position, for this you must reread the vacancy and investigate the news and trends of the sector.
During the interview talk about concrete examples that have happened to you or want to implement, that will make the interviewer see you as the professional you are.
4. Analyze your candidacy and your resume
Think about what you know, how you are and what you want to achieve. It is important that you meet to present yourself in the interview and know what your strengths and weaknesses are.
Remember that during the interview they can ask you directly about your weaknesses . If you don't know how to answer the question, I recommend you check the video on What is your biggest weakness? In our channel.
Before the appointment, review your HdV and think about what you want to highlight from each experience or skill you have.
It is important that when asked about your resume you know how to respond with determination and passion.
5. Introduce yourself neat and well dressed
Once you have your homework done, it is time to physically prepare for the interview.
Remember that grooming is important. Going scruffy to the interview is clearly one of the reasons why they can rule you out.
For the costumes I advise you to go comfortable but well dressed . Remember the values of the company you go to and dress accordingly. That is, if the company is traditional and very formal wears a suit.
If, on the other hand, on your website you have seen that they are innovative and use informal language, dress in that way so as not to clash.
You must be dressed to implant in the recruiter's mind the idea that you are the perfect person to be part of his team.
