The website also mentions how honesty is one of the most important things you can do. When talking to a potential employer you need to be honest and give them all the details that may benefit you in the future. #careers #interviewing #applyingforajob Tips for a Successful Interview- University of Georgia https://lnkd.in/gcFawbUp

I shared a really useful blog yesterday about interview techniques and preparation but something that often comes up in my briefings with candidates is controlling their nerves. Interview anxiety is normal, and can a good thing if you can control it. The blog below from my ace colleague Paloma Zamora gives an insight into some techniques you could use to control your nerves and channel them into positive performance.

Interviewing can be challenging. I often see talented candidates forget some basic interview behaviors that will help them land the offer. 1. Research the company and learn how they generate revenue and the history of the company. 2. Be ready to answer interview questions with real-life examples. STAR method. 3. Avoid talking negatively about your previous employers. 4. Come to the interview with your own prepared questions so that when they ask what questions you have, you have several that have not been answered. 5. Before leaving the interview ask the interviewers if they have any concerns about your qualifications or experience. 6. Ask what next steps are and what their timeframes look like.

Being an interviewer can be just as daunting as being interviewed! Here are our tips on conducting a professional interview (in person or online)... #interviewtips #recruitmentagency #hiringstaff

Interviewing? Don't know what to ask? Instead of googling 'best interview questions' 10 mins before the start Here's what to do instead: Have a two stage interview process. First one is to screen for the crazies, clarify their resume is what they say it is. Understand why they are looking & where their head space is at. No need to get into nitty gritty yet. Be formal and let them speak. Ask prompting questions about their past history "I see you worked at xxx for x years, what was their XYZ process like?" Now we know they're not lying and genuine, the SECOND interview should be test their skills. Both work wise and interpersonal. Task 1 - Give them an email from a client with issues, tell them to fix it and then reply to the client how you see fit. Task 2 - Something directly related to their field. When interviewing candidates for my recruiter positions I will ask "This client wants to fill this position, this is the brief, suggest a plan to deliver candidates in a timely manner" I will purposefully be vague with the tasks, I want them to squirm a little. I want to see their process, how they can take a problem from point A to point B. All other questions will naturally form before and after the tasks. If you're gut isn't happy with how they did, then move on.

Interviewers will ask how you deal with conflict. Are you prepared to provide an example that leads to a solution? Focus on the outcome, not the problem. https://lnkd.in/gu89nrb #jobsearch #interviewing
