With fall finally being here, so is fall recruitment season! Lots of interviews are happening and it’s important to put your best foot forward during your interview. How can you do that? Making sure you prepare. Keep on reading to learn how to ace your next interview.
Research the company
Knowing specifics about the company and what they do will help you stand out amongst other applicants. When looking up the company, try to find talking points that can start a conversation. For instance, say you are passionate about donating to a certain charity and the company also donates to that charity. Mention that! Or maybe you really like what employees say about the company culture. You can talk about how company culture is important to you, so seeing that employees enjoy the work atmosphere is a great sign.
Practice Makes Perfect
Before your interview, you should always practice. Practice the basic questions that you know the interviewer will ask you. For example, practice your answer to “tell me about yourself.”
Make a list of your strengths, your past experiences, and other aspects of yourself you want to feature.
Ask a roommate, parent, or sibling to do a mock interview so that you can also get feedback on your answers. The more prepared you are, the better!
