Tips to job interview

How to Conduct a Good Job Interview:

When you reach the interview round, it shows that you have already convinced the interviewer "on paper" that you are capable of doing the job. The interview is your chance to convince them that you are the right person.

The purpose of the interview is to uncover whether you possess the necessary skills and sufficient knowledge to fill the position. At the same time, the interview will give you an opportunity to find out if this company and this job is really something you would like.

Remember to prepare well. Read about the company and focus on creating a good first impression. Your appearance and behavior can prejudice the interviewer. Therefore, make sure to make the crucial first impression as positive as possible. Be attentive, properly dressed, and polite.

Bring copies of your CV, diplomas, certificates, and references. Allow plenty of time and be sure you know where you are going - remember to be punctual. When you meet the person who will interview you, you should shake their hand. Be calm, polite, honest, and sincere. Show interest in the job and do not answer questions you do not understand. Ask the interviewer to explain the question. Speak clearly and use positive words. Maintain eye contact with the interviewer. This inspires trust.

End the interview with a smile and a firm handshake!

Application and CV Tips

Application

An application should have the design and layout of a letter. Use a standard font and normal letter size.

The heading should always contain the title from the job advertisement.

Eks Advertisment: 
Skilled and Experienced Car Mechanic Wanted
  Application: Application for the position of Car Mechanic

Always refer to where you saw the job advertisement.

The application should be concise, with information about why you are applying for the particular position, and what qualities, qualifications, and experiences you possess that make you suitable for this position.

An application should be one page long, and not too detailed. Read the job advertisement carefully, and address what is being asked for.

 

CV

The abbreviation CV comes from the Latin term Curriculum Vitae.
A CV is a concise description of who you are and what you have done so far in your life.
Before you start writing your CV, it is important that you first analyze the job advertisement carefully. This will give you valuable information about the competencies, background, values, and qualities that the company is looking for among the applicants.
If you can identify these criteria and desires that the company is looking for, it will be much easier to write a CV that accurately targets its audience.

 

A CV SHOULD INCLUDE:

  1. Contact Information
  2. Key Qualifications
  3. Work Experience
  4. Education
  5. Courses
  6. Driver's License / Certifications
  7. Languages
  8. Positions of Trust
  9. Military Service
  10. Other Important Information
  11. Interests, Hobbies
  12. References

How a CV can be written:

  • The layout and design of your CV should be easy to read, chronological, and clear.
  • Use a font that is easy to read and neat, such as Arial or Times New Roman.
  • Start with personal details; full name, address, email, phone, date of birth, marital status, any children.
  • Present key qualifications (key experience and personal qualities) as early as possible in your CV. Prioritize the qualifications that best qualify you for the specific position you are applying for.
  • Avoid spelling mistakes, poor language, clutter, or logical flaws in the presentation of the information. Have someone proofread for you before sending it to a potential employer.
  • A CV is not static. Make sure the CV is always tailored to the specific position you are applying for. Using the same CV for all jobs you apply for almost guarantees that you won't hit the mark as well.
  • Emphasize presenting tasks from each job that are as relevant as possible for the position you are applying for.
  • Be mindful of whom you inform about references. It is advantageous not to "use up" these contacts unnecessarily. It is important that each reference is aware that you are using them as a reference. Get approval from the person.
  • If you have extensive work experience, it's okay for your CV to be several pages. If you are a recent graduate with little work experience, your CV should be able to be written on one page.
  • Ensure consistency between your application and CV, and that there are no gaps in the information. Inconsistencies or errors between the application and CV create uncertainty in the reader.

Good luck!
