Pre-Interviewing techniques

Three days before your interview, what will you do? Here is a little guideline and essentials that you can follow.

1. Read three days worth of news and gather your facts right. If you are intending to work in a dynamic industry such as the banking sector, this is a crucial step that you must not miss. You must not enter an interview without knowing what is happening around you.

2. Knowledge is power. If you want the power to control the interview, brush up your knowledge by revising what you've learnt in school. Else you might be at risk of showing incompetency and worst still, mumbling abracadabra. If your interviewers do not understand what you say, probably they will not remember you.

3. Know what the company is looking for. Revisit the scope of the position and ask yourself what you have to complement it. Then write down your competencies.

4. Anticipate the interview! Practice, Practice, and Practice! Here is some 50 common questions you can find in an interview. I find it pretty useful. You may want to reinforces each answer with the competencies you possess.

I hope this helps. At this depressing period, job demands are high. If you say you are a fast learner, everyone applying for that position can also claim to be a faster learner. So think about it, what makes you stand out?
