Dah geeks!!! Olga insisted that I give some tips on interviews. Let's see... - First of all, you need to understand for whom you apply for a position. It is actually for your benefit since you will work there, and if you don't like it, it will mean that at the beginning you didn't observe small things that would have annoyed you.
- Who is the person that you are going to meet? Do you have some information about him/her? Do you know his/her position in the company? I remember long time ago I had an interview in front of a panel of five managers of an International company and I was prepared to answer with specific words to each one of them that they would expect to hear in order to be sutisfied.
- Think: you don't have a second chance to make a good first impression.
- Smile always. Have in mind your values, and how these values will contribute to the company. Never say negative comments about previous companies that you have been employed.
- Be confident but not arrogant! I remember that many arrogant people left my office with the head down, because they didn't realize that are not perfect, and someone can spot those tiny details that will expose you!!!
By the way... I have failed in two job interviews and I tell you... I became a better person after that. It always matters how you will treat a failure. My choice was to become better as a person and as a professional and I thank those people for their behavior. What was yours?
