Last week, I spoke with 7 people who found it difficult to get past interviews for jobs. And this was their most common issue: “I am not getting a call back from any of them.” Job interviews are nerve wracking. The interviewer often intimidates you on purpose. But here are 5 ways to get through a tough interview & land the job: ~ Practice common questions out loud. ~ Research niche questions for the position. ~ Learn & practice body language & eye contact. ~ Speak slow & well. Always think before answering. ~ Don’t just bring the skills like a robot. Be more yourself. BONUS: Show enthusiasm by asking questions about their company. Make sure your personality shines through. Smile through your nerves. It is easier than you think. Do you need help with landing your job interview? Comment “interview” below.

Bias in job interviews isn't going anywhere—but you can mitigate it. How? 🔍 Research: Before the interview, take the time to learn about the interviewer. Dive into their online presence—understand their interests, roles, and responsibilities within the company. 👔 Dress the Part: Save the hoodie for later. Dressing appropriately shows respect and professionalism, aligning you more closely with the company's culture. 🤝 Build Rapport: This is about harmonizing with your interviewer. Not sure what rapport is? Google it! You’re not just there to interview; you're there to connect.

Interviews can be high stress, anxiety-driving situations, especially if it's your first interview. With practice and preparation, some of those nerves can be calmed. Where should you start?

Do you prepare for the most common, challenging job interview questions? In a recent PowerSpeaking Live!, Pamela Skillings and Rita Gallaway Williams shared advice regarding the oh-so-common “What’s your biggest weakness?” question. I love these pointers: 🔸 Don’t offer up the stale “I work too hard” or “I’m a perfectionist” (interviewers are onto those evasions) 🔸 Choose a weakness that isn’t central to the job you’re interviewing for 🔸 Describe how you’re working to improve the weakness you cite Any insights to share about responding to difficult interview questions? Please do! #jobinterviews #careerdevelopment

One thing that I wish I knew before my first job interview! Job interviews are always nerve-racking, especially the first ones. Everyone teaches us about interviews, but no one tells us the practical things that matter. You might be thinking, 'What am I talking about?' Let's figure it out👇 In a hurry to get the job, we prepare some scripts to crack the interview. (Everyone rehearses). Rehearsing is good to feel confident, but what if you forget the lines? There you've made a blunder and risk losing the job. >>Your interviewer isn't interested in meeting Tom, Dick or Harry, they want to meet the real you. Before presenting yourself in an interview, make sure to remain genuine. 📍Talk about yourself 📍Discuss your strengths 📍Share your weaknesses 📍Clearly define your focus 📍Express your short & long term goals 📍Explain how you can contribute to the company And that's it, be the real you. PS: Convincing the interviewer can work sometimes, but what matters to him is your authenticity💯 #firstjob #interviewpreparation #recruitmentconsultant

Happy Monday! ☕ Got interviews lined up this week? Read this helpful tip to empower you a bit further: 🔍Don't Forget to Interview the Interviewer! In the whirlwind of preparing for a job interview, it's easy to focus solely on showcasing your skills and experience. But remember, it's not just about whether the company thinks you're a good fit - it's also about whether the company is a good fit for YOU! It's common to feel unprepared or intimidated by the interview process because you hesitate to ask questions yourself. But flipping the script and interviewing the interviewer can provide invaluable insights into what it's truly like to work at the company and provide you with an advantage for those second or third round interviews. 🗣 Candidates, what's your favorite question to ask the interviewer? #interviewtips #interviewprep #2024jobs #talentacquisition #2024
