Tips for a successful job interview
Every so often, I want to draw everyone’s attention to basic rules and guidelines for a successful job interview. (This mostly happens when I come across a candidate who I think will be fine, but manages to forget a thing or two in the interview.) When I prep medical sales, laboratory and clinical diagnostics sales, pharmaceutical sales, pathology sales, or medical device sales candidates for interviews, I cover some of this stuff, but here’s a few great articles for you to go to, also:
How to Prepare for an Interview: Practice! (Also from YourHRGuy, Know When to Shut Your Mouth.)
50 Common Interview Questions: practice your answers to these, and it greatly reduces your chance of getting flustered in the interview.
Keys to a Successful Job Interview: Avoid rambling, inappropriate language, or bad-mouthing people (like former co-workers and employers). Definitely do your homework, even if you’ve been in the business a while. Technology changes, buzzwords come and go….keep up.
10 Tips for the Perfect Job Interview: Be confident, but not over-confident. Pay attention to the interviewer’s demeanor (formal, informal) and match that. Listen to the question being asked rather than completely focusing on what you are going to say next. Always have a question at the end. There are great tips here.
