Interview Analysis
You’re crafted the perfect CV, your qualifications and skills are an ideal match with the job description and you’ve got three years of relevant work experience under your belt. There is only one thing standing between you and your new job: the interview. You’re well aware that this is the most crucial part of the process. You know that you need to ‘sell yourself’ and demonstrate to the interviewer that you’ve got what it takes to succeed, but what exactly is it that potential employers are looking for? 1………………………………….. . What they want to see is sets you apart. Here are five characteristics that every candidate needs to show they possess.
1 Strong communication skills
Don’t let your interview become a back and forth exchange of asking and answering questions. Instead, turn it into a conversation. Be articulate and use engaging language, but also look for opportunities to demonstrate your creative and critical thinking skills as well as your ability to influence others. Studies show that successful candidates spend more time speaking in their interviews than unsuccessful ones, so don’t be nervous about turning your interview into a discussion.
2 Interest in position
Do you care about this job? 2 ……………………………………….. . Having researched the role and the company thoroughly before your interview, you should be able to explain precisely why you’re the perfect candidate. Answer the interviewer’s questions with interest and excitement – make sure he or she can feel your passion and drive.
3 Motivation to succeed
“What motivates you?” is one of the most common interview questions – and often the most difficult to answer! 3 ………………………………………… . What does success mean to you? What are your goals? What makes you feel a sense of achievement? Be honest, be specific, and link your answer to the role you’ve applied for. Also, don’t wait for the question to show you’ll do whatever it takes to succeed – your level of motivation will be clear if you speak with enthusiasm throughout your interview.
4 Poise
Your smart suit isn’t the only thing your interviewer will consider with regards to your presentation. 4 ………………………………………………… . Remember to take deep breaths before you go into the interview room, speak slowly and don’t fidget or make excessive hand gestures. Maintain eye contact with your interviewer and smile.
5 Insight
Potential employers are looking for the best candidates, so it’s imperative to show that you can easily grasp concepts and ideas. Focus on what your interviewer is saying and engage with them. 5 …………………………………………………… . Asking questions has a double benefit in interviews: it helps you learn more about the company and the role, and demonstrates to the interviewer that you are interested and curious.
