Interview Skills

People say:

  • People decide about you in the first 10 seconds
  • You have to make a good first impression
  • Learn as much about the company as you can
  • They will ask questions to trip you

Its not about these questions, but presenting yourself in the most authentic way

Your first opportunity: Getting the interview

Your CV has to stand out since a million other people also want the job.

Some tips:

  • Use good paper
  • Make it easy on the eyes
  • Don’t put in too much detail
  • Put who you are now
  • Leave education and qualifications at the end
  • Write a short paragraph about yourself
  • Highlight the good points in your present job

Preparing for a job interview

  • Think that you are the man they want
  • First impressions are important
    • Be yourself from the start
    • Never lie. It shows
    • Show that you know how to relate and communicate with people
    • Tell about your skills, like if you know some other language
