SOME MORE HOT TIPS FOR JOB

Not taking the opportunity to ask intelligent questions about the company and/or positionThe interviewing process is not just an opportunity for the company to evaluate your fit for the position; it?s also your opportunity to evaluate how well the company and the position match your ideal job. Asking questions not only helps you determine how well-suited you are for the position (and it for you), but also clearly indicates that you have done some basic research about the organization. Don?t ask questions just for the sake of asking questions. Intelligent, poorly-worded questions can frequently do more damage to your reputation than remaining silent.
Failure to practiceEven the best public speakers need to take the time to practice delivering and answering detailed questions. The more you practice, the more comfortable you will get with your answers and the material, allowing for a much smoother delivery. Talking too much (or not at all)
The best answers are succinct, but detailed. Interviewees who ramble on and on come across as trying to compensate for some weakness, while those individuals who just sit there and stare appear as though they are in shellshock (and maybe in over their heads). Neither of these scenarios is ideal in an interview situation. Choose your words carefully and sparingly, but don?t be a mute.Bad-mouthing previous managers or companiesOne of the fastest ways to turn off an interviewer is to bad-mouth your current or previous employer. This raises questions about your loyalty and integrity, and labels you as unhappy and a complainer. Even if you worked in a sweatshop with no lights, running water, or meal breaks for 18 hours a day, keep all negative commentary to yourself.Fail to explain why they are a good fit for the position (and the company)If you leave it up to the interviewer to evaluate if you are a solid fit for the company, then you risk the chance that they might not make the decision you?d like to hear. Make it easy for the interviewer for hire you by connecting your experiences, talents, and strengths to the job description.Don't state that you want the jobOnce the interview has concluded, if you want the job, let the interviewer know that you are still interested in the position. Since the interview is as much about your evaluation of the company and the position as it is them evaluating you, don?t assume the interviewer knows you still want the job. Reiterate your interest and inquire about the next step in the hiring process. ..........................................................................................ABOUT THE AUTHOR;Laura Adams is a qualified careers advisor with 11 years experience.
