Interviews
Job interview When you go for a job interview or an internship you are just another person on a long list so once you walk in you need to remember that the clock is ticking ... ???? first of all you must remember that you wouldn’t be there in that interview in the first place if your CV hadn’t got their attention, so this moment is just designed to concentrate, you must relate to subjects that are mentioned on your CV and build on them. You are there to get the job and the company employee interviewing you is just trying to find that if you are the person that could be the person they require. If you don’t have work experience ... So if you don’t have a job already and this is your first job you might find it a good idea to set up an association or club and this will bring you into contact with other people it will teach you organizational skills. Ones that tend to look good on your CV are: sports club treasurer, concert organizer, charity fundraiser these will show initiative, staying power and also showing that you have something to talk about. Problem solving Remember a problem, you need to talk about a time when you overcame an issue or a problem so that you can provide the interviewer with some details and without being too in-depth go through the problem “the truck broke down so we had to find a solution I called five different companies and in the end we decided to rent a truck but we needed to fix a price” try to give details that would be interesting which are as business related as possible, avoid domestic incidents also avoid talking about problems that were too simple. Show that you have problem-solving skills, rationalism, maturity, patience, responsability; this will show your initiative and energy, get up and your leadership qualities and people skills.
