Landed
a coveted interview..Confused what to do next?
Before the interview
- Plan
ahead: For a face to face interview, make sure you reach the
employer’s office at least 15 minutes before the scheduled
time. Get Mapquest directions /subway route the previous night.
-
Dress to impress – first impressions do count
- Do
your research on the company – go through the company
website and Google the company to look at the headlines it has
been making
Prepare a 30 second selling pitch (your answer to “tell
me about yourself” question). Make sure you highlight
the important aspects required for the role
- Prepare
a T diagram for yourself highlighting the skills required for
the job on the right and your experience on the left. This T
diagram will act as your guide in the interview.
During the interview
- Break
the ice - say something like "I have been looking forward
to this meeting"
- Use
action words to describe what you have done. Words like "planned",
"created", "implemented", "gave directions
to", "contributed", "originated" deliver
impact to the discussion.
- Use
the T diagram that you prepared to highlight similarities to
the job you are pursuing
- Take
the contact information of the person you interviewed with.
Post the interview
- Contact
your RadixThink recruiter and update him/her on how the discussion
went
- Send
a Thank You note to the interviewer after the interview - mention
that you were impressed by the company and the team and are
looking forward to the next steps in the process.
