How Do You Prepare For A Job Interview

Graduates have much of a chance, but they have to prepare very well, says Head of the Career Center.

Self-esteem must up, there is no reason not to apply for a position even if you are a recent graduate, said John Carter manager at the Career Center.

Career Center has two main groups, one is the students, the other businesses. For students there are several offers, job search training, interview training with headhunters and career guidance.

It's full of all our courses, students make use of all our offerings. We note that additional well now that the labor market is tight and there are several competitors for the positions, says John.

To hire graduates secures contemporary expertise.

This says the group's director of promotion and recruitment, Tone Holland.

State Oil Hydro recently voted the most attractive employer among students in technology, finance and IT in 2015. The survey was conducted by Hydro Communications, and consisted of 320.00 students from 31 countries, of which 5,400 of them were from Asia.

Tone Holland, explaining that they have received 8,000 applications this year alone from new graduates.

We have a special strategy for recruitment of graduates, we are looking at learning institutions and the talent market. Graduates have nothing to lose against applicants with much experience. underlines Tone Holland.

With many qualified applicants, it is important to follow application standards companies have to apply for a position. It comes to present basic criteria you have, which might be to speak several languages, having studied abroad or good academic results. This must be thought through in advance. Different types of organizational work will also count, it shows that we have had a commitment beyond studies.

There is stiff competition between many talented applicants, therefore it is extremely important that the application be filled by the right format, that everything is complete and that you send with all the attachments requested, says Tone Holland.

Tone Holland highlights as well that when the application is in place, it is especially important to prepare well for the job interview, it means having knowledge about themselves and the employer.

If you are invited for an interview, it means that basically is qualified for the position you have applied. It is we who will interview, but it is important that the candidate reads up on now and ask good questions. Job seeker will also find an employer and a job you will enjoy working with, she advises.

Most importantly, according to career counselor John Carter is sufficient to control of himself, that one knows what to say and how to say it.

The most common question an employer asking is: "Tell me about yourself." You are then able to give a short presentation of themselves, it should be thought out in advance, explaining John.

One then has the opportunity to say something sensible and specific about education, and it comes to using a practical and common language.

The student must go specifically to assault must be clearly and find their own way to explain their expertise on. It is important to use a less academic language. One can imagine how one would explained neighbor or a family company what you study, explains John.

In addition, the question of strengths and weaknesses very widespread, and it comes to realizing their limitations explains John.

This is something you certainly should have thought through, because it also says something about the applicant's self-knowledge. You should simply have an answer to this. We all have something we can work with, and it is easy to be aware of it, advises John.

The employer is the leading word in the job interview, but the job seeker has the opportunity to ask questions. But not everyone is equally suited to quiet, this should also be thought through in advance.

Never ask how did the interview, it raises employer on the spot. If, however, have not received job, jobseeker later ask if there is anything he can do differently, says John.

One should avoid are questions about employer's management style continues John Carter, especially if they have many employees.

In theory, it seems this question is perfectly fine, but it might be a difficult question to answer for the boss.

Director Tone Holland thinks that there are almost no limits to what one should ask questions about, it is up to the applicants themselves, but one should have normal civility in mind.

You know what is private and what one should not ask questions about. This is something that goes both ways, but if seeking not understand where to draw the line, so it also tells a lot about the person.

It is important to act both as a good corporate citizen and a skilled job seeker at once.

Trust yourself, be well prepared and act professionally.
