I decided with this tough economy, I would give out some tips on how to interview and sell yourself for the job you want, even if you are "over qualified", which seems to be a big problem for me. So here are some tips that I have gotten from seminars and classes about how to interview.
~Make them want you, sell them why you are great and what you could bring to the company
~Know about the company, know what makes them great, see if they are expanding and say you would love to grow with them
~Figure out what the competitive pay is, but dont sell your self short or ask to much, this is a tough market right now, employers have options and you want to be competive
~Dress for the position you want, dont over dress or under dress for what your applying for
~Dont talk negatively about past experiences, instead say it was a challenge that you had to learn to overcome
~Dont have a long resume, its a known fact they only look at a resume for under one minute, highlight every job that will make you stand out, keep it to one page
~Smile, remember, they want a friendly, outgoing and serious employee, not a dead doornail
Do you do interviews? Do you have any tips on what I havnt covered? Send me an e-mail and let me know! I would love to know tips on what to do and what not to do!
