Job interviews are a decisive step in your success in getting your dream job. Therefore, there are many candidates who view job interviews as thrilling sessions.
Job interviews are not just a matter of answering questions raised by the company. In order to get the job you desire, you also have to promote yourself well to the company or recruiters.
Reporting from siliconrepublic.com, Ed Barrett, a HubSpot sales director, gave 3 tips for promoting yourself well during job interviews.
Know the audience
Before coming to job interview, make sure you know your audience. First of all, you have to know the information about the company, its culture. Additionally, you need to convince the company that you are the right candidate for the position you are applying for.
You have to do short research with the help of Google and candidates in-depth searches, such as finding a podcast done by the CEO some time ago or mentioning the values that the company believes and instilled in employees always give an impression that is hard to forget.
Furthermore, you have to show how you really want the job,.
Become a complete human being
No company wants to recruit employees who are robots. Thus, you need to show your personality and enthusiasm during a job interview. In this way, both you and the company will see your values and work ethics whether you match each other.
Show Your Ability
On every CV, candidates often call themselves hard-working, able to work in teams, dedicated, and enthusiastic. However, keep in mind that the company’s view of these traits can be different from yours. In a job interview, no matter what position it is, it is important for you to provide a concrete example that shows the traits you mentioned on the CV.
Barrett said, “When I interview (candidates) for our team, I want to see a real example that will explain to me about you as a marketer. I ask about a time when you didn’t meet sales targets or consumer stories about how you used creative solutions to face challenges.
After asking such experimental questions, Barrett then asked hypothetical questions, such as ‘What do you do if you are going to miss deadlines for important assignments that affect company performance?’
Such questions make candidates think and give you an understanding of the principles and framework of decision making.
