I can say interview can become a stressfull situation for most of graduate student. Because there are many preparation to make. Here I give 10 tips you can prepare for interview.
1. Be positive. Go into the interview confident that you have prepared well.
2. Be ready for the questions will likely be asked to you. Calmly think the answers you want to give. Although you will never completely know every question they will ask, there are questions that asked in almost interviews. Learn what they are and try to anticipate what the others might be. Interview questions are usually sourced from the job posting. If they are looking for a particular skill set, make sure you can explain how you will meet that expectation.
3. Know why you want to work for their company. Search for information about the company. Do some research, from their website, the project they are currently work, analysis their annual reports if available. This will help you to give your answers in the context of what their core business is all about.
4. Study the job description and know about the job. Most job postings have a list of core responsibilities that correspondent to what qualifications are required. Study this well.
5. Know what you have to offer – like what experiences you have that makes you the best candidate for the position. Told what education / training you have had. Maybe you will surprise yourself with all your skill you have acquired before.
6. Come to the interview with a prepared list of references that can be handed over to the interviewer. This should include names, addresses, telephone numbers and email contacts, and make sure you have asked permission from those on the list in advance.
7. Take copies of your resume to the interview. In most cases, the interviewer already have your resume, but it never a bad thing to have a back up copy just. And be sure it is the most relevant resume for the position the interview is for.
8. It is very important that you you get to the interview location on time. You should know where you are going and how long it will take you to get there on time. Maybe you can go there before the interview days, So you can set your time well.
9. Allow at least one hour for the interview. This means not making any appointments right after the interview. You will probably be a little fatigued afterward and maybe not at your best right away. Also this will prevent you from becoming distracted during the interview if you see the time for that next commitment approaching.
10. Finally, get enough sleep the night before. Prepare your clothes you will wear. Prepare yourself to be clean and neat, and dress conservatively, avoiding anything distracting.
Use these suggestions into practice for your next interview opportunity. They will hopefully contribute to a successful and rewarding experience.
