Interviewing is a two-way street. Know what they mean when they ask you specific questions. Questions serve several functions for the job
candidate—pay careful attention.
- They help you asses whether you really want the job—or if you
are the right fit for the job.
- They help you understand what the employer, manager and department heads
need.
- Specific questions help build an understanding of what will be
required of the candidate, the candidate's responsibilities and a working
relationship within the company and their clients.
Listed here are some of the thing that you must keep in mind before
stepping foot into the interviewer's office.
- Learn about the Company - In most cases you can call on your local
Chamber of Commerce to learn about the company.
- Call your local newspaper and request any articles, press releases
that the company might have sent or that the newspaper may
have published.
- Find out who the company's competitors are; make sure you do an extensive
research on competitors.
- Learn about the company's strengths and weakness and their position in the market place.
- Learn about the department you will be working in.
Ask the right questions - It is not what you ask rather how you
ask it.
