How Do You Sell Yourself In A Job Interview?
How do you make someone want to hire you? Simple: Put yourself in the shoes of the interviewer and focus on his or her needs and you’ll become an irresistible applicant. Find out as much as you can about the company: How is it performing? What is its mission statement and who are its customers? What are the interviewer’s priorities and responsibilities? The more you know, the more you’ll be able to ask informed questions about the job. Study the description of the job for which you have applied. Be clear on what is expected and if you have the background and skills to do it. Take an inventory of your strengths and practice discussing how they complement the requirements of the job. Write down specific examples that demonstrate these strengths and be able to speak fluidly and intelligently about them. Make a winning first impression at the interview. Be prompt, make eye contact and give a firm handshake. Dress one notch above what’s expected for the position you’re interviewing for. Loo
