Best Tips On How to Pass a Job Interview


During an interview, the interviewer is seeking the right person to take on the job of the well being of the company, while a job seeker is making an effort to take on the job of interest. The power of losing the job or acquiring it lies in the power of the job seeker. It is up to an individual to sell him or her self before the interviewer to prove that he or she is the right person they are searching for, the right person to work with. Before the interviewing panel even capable people lose good jobs as a result of failing to sell them selves well or making some mistakes.Here are some tips on how to pass a job interview.

Dress well

The first impression matters. Dress professionally based on the image of that particular organisation. The interviewer will consider you as a right person who can fit into that organisation, one who can emphasize the organisation good image or improve it. No matter how bright you are dressing poorly may make you lose the job.

Arrive early

Arriving at the interviewing premises 20 or 25 minutes earlier enables you to relax, for a lady you can visit the restroom and check your hair, your make up if you applied any. For a gentleman, you can check you collar or your trousers in case you forgot to zip up. This is the right time to put your self in order to appear decent before the interviewing panel.

Sell yourself with your achievements


If asked about your achievements, talk about the good things you did at your previous company, the problems you solved, how you reduced at the cost of production, how you saved the image of the organisation among others. Don't fear to mention any good thing you have done even if it happened at your high school or campus. It may add you a credit.

Tell the truth

Do not lie about anything concerning your work history. Many people before the interviewing panel are tempted to lie bout their work experience. They do this to give an impression that they have the experience required for that particular job.
