IV. Job interview
Introduction
PURPOSE OF THE INTERVIEW
The interview is a conversation in which you and an employer exchange information. Your objective is to get an offer of a job, and the employer's objective is to find out the following:
• What you have to offer (your skills, abilities, basic knowledge).
• Who you are (your personality, character, interests).
• Why you should be hired (you have what they are seeking).
The interviewer will try to determine whether you will be an asset to the organization. Your goal is to present yourself as the best candidate for the position and also to learn more about the position and the interviewer's organization to determine whether both are well suited for you and your career goals. Thus, the interview is a two-way discussion rather than an interrogation, as it is often perceived to be.
The interview is a vital step to obtaining a career position and often depends on your skills in marketing your potential. Do not miss out on a good position for which you are qualified due to a lack of preparation and practice. You need to be ready to answer questions about your career goals and background. You will also want to develop intelligent questions of your own to help you obtain the necessary information for making an informed decision. Furthermore, preparation helps build your self confidence in your interview skills and is the key to successful interviewing.
