August 30, 2005 – Are you starting to look for work, considering moving to a hospital, counseling center or community, or adding a part-time job to your current job? An important part of the recruitment process. This article discusses practical advice to qualify for any job interview.

Preparation

Good communication is the foundation of a successful conversation before you step into a potential employer’s company. Here are some tips to help you through the application process to find the right job for you.
Start quickly.
Preparing for the interview takes time. If you don’t know a job or employer, you should spend more time preparing.

Find out what you need.

Identify key job characteristics and benefits (e.g., population or occupation, status, health or financial benefits, freedom of employment, care) as well as important but not legal actions.

Research the market.

What changes await us, what new technologies are needed and what opportunities and challenges arise in the near future?

Understand the employer’s needs.

Check out the conference website and learn about its functions, values, and leaders. Include all relevant documents, including the company’s annual report and reports or letters written by senior executives. Also, inform all partners who know the organization for advice on company culture and priorities.

Get to know yourself.

Look at your strengths and weaknesses. Think about personal qualities that will help you succeed, as well as the professional skills you bring to the table. Be able to explain how these skills and characteristics affect your chosen career.

Be willing to talk about your weaknesses.

Avoid the generic answer “I’m a perfectionist.” Pick a soft area for improvement, find your understanding of weaknesses and explain what you are doing to overcome those weaknesses.

Prepare your takeoff.

Submit and support updates for your target site. Discover the best hospital articles or reviews for this service and spread the word. If the situation involves supervision or management, make sure you have professional services to help you improve your skills in these areas.

Prepare several pertinent questions.

Be prepared to ask questions about their performance and organization during the interview. Ask questions about the culture of the organization, the services you provide, the information you read about vacancies and the homework you have done.

Practice.

Once you understand the employer’s cultural needs, anticipate the questions they might ask you. Prepare answers to these questions, but don’t worry about mentioning them. It is easier to communicate with the interviewer if you let the interviewer have a normal conversation. Finally, have an interesting conversation with a friend or colleague.

Call ahead.

Call the assistant or office a few days before the interview, confirm the date of the interview, and ask if the interviewee has any material they would like to bring to the interview.

Have a tested travel plan.

Take your time for the day of the interview and figure out where your parking spot will be to prepare interview instructions and test drive schedules. On the day of the interview, remember your instructions and the name, address, and phone number of the person you are speaking to.

Be a good judge.

Whether it’s a morning workout or a healthy breakfast, energize your mindset and start the conversation with a positive attitude. Going early and giving yourself plenty of time to shower will also make it easier.

First Effects

The first few minutes of an interview are usually the best. Here are a few tips to get you started:

Wear the right clothes.

Dressing for an interview is at least one level of dress code for the position you are applying for. For most psychological situations, clothing may be more appropriate on the day of the interview. Propose a professional image, be conservative with your hair and accessories. You want them to remind you who you are, not your blouse and tie.

Be centered.

If you are happy with yourself, the interviewer will feel more comfortable. Make sure you are well prepared and confident without arrogance.

Cultural reflection.

In American culture, eye contact, loud applause and smiles are considered symbols of integrity and professionalism in the workplace. If you work in a multinational context, you need to be aware of the cultural factors and social norms that determine social participation.

Use your skills as a psychologist

Quickly assess the interviewer’s mood, body language, tone and speech, personality style and communicate according to the height of the room.

NB

Keep in mind that when you’re in the interview, you’re also in the interview with the agency to see if it’s right for you. Gain insight into the work environment and organizational culture. How will they receive you when you arrive? What is consumption? How do partners communicate while travelling?

interview

Make your conversation right.

Is your interviewer a psychologist? Will this person be your direct supervisor or will you interview a foreign employee of this company? Based on the answers to these questions, think about the language you use and what questions you want to ask the interviewer.

Find a message. Remember your questions.
At the beginning of the conversation, ask what you are and which person does the best job. This vital information will help you sell your results in an interview.

Be positive, but be honest.

Share your strengths when you get the chance, but dance to your weaknesses. Be honest and professional when answering tough questions.

Close the interview.

Remember the three most important lessons: be prepared to ask a few questions if you can; Thanks for the interview; Then ask what the next step in the process will be.

Following Up

When you walk out the door, the interview isn’t over. Strong confidence will help you close the deal.

The thank you letter.

Send a thank you note to the interviewer within a day or two after the interview. In the age of overloaded email and voice messaging, emails send the message that you are taking time to think about the interview and the situation. Your letter should generally be no longer than one page and will allow you to reiterate how your experience will benefit the organization, in addition to just thanking the interviewer.

Be visible but not a nuisance.

If you haven’t heard from the company in about two weeks, consider sending an email or doing a follow-up interview to show you’re still interested in the position.

A successful interview requires a lot of thought and preparation. However, if you invest the time and energy required for each of these stages in the application process, you will go the extra mile to meet potential employees.
