Exuding Confidence in A Job Interview

Jul 20, 2021

Our Job Recruiters Are Here To Help You With The Interview Process

Interviews can be a challenge, even if you’ve been through the process before. If you take time to learn about the position and about the company before the interview, it can put your mind at ease and you will feel more confident overall. There are a lot of different questions that can be asked during an interview, but be ready to talk about yourself, your experience, and your skills.


To make the interview process less stressful for you, we have created a guide to help you be ready for any question you may be asked. Learning how to talk about yourself and your experiences has never been easier, and we are here to help! 


Learn About the Company 

Never go into an interview unprepared, employers are looking for potential hires who have done their research. Even if you are nervous, an interviewee who researched the company beforehand will always do better in an interview compared to those who don’t. Find out as much as you can about an organization by checking out the company website, Googling the company, looking at social media networks such as LinkedIn or Glassdoor, and connecting with friends and business associates who may know about it. Some things you should be researching are the company values, company leadership, the clients, and the company culture. 


Research Yourself

Even though it is important to research the company, it is also important to connect the organization to yourself and who you are or who you want to be as a professional. Start with the job you are interviewing for, look at the job description and take notes on how your experiences and skills make you a good fit. Look into your career history, figure out how your past positions connect to what the organization is looking for. Almost every interviewer will ask your strengths and weaknesses. Pick strengths based on the job and be honest about your weaknesses, but always tell the interviewer how you manage them. It is also very important that your social media is private, check your name online by Googling yourself and make sure you look appropriate online. 


Have Questions Prepared 

Interviewers favor candidates who ask questions. Questions show that you have thought about the position and also demonstrates your confidence. It is best that you come up with questions during the research before the interview. Some simple but beneficial question to ask are:

  • What are the main responsibilities of the job?
  • Who does the position report to?
  • What are some of the challenges of this position?
  • How does this team support the company's current goals?


Practice

After you have done all of your research and preparation for the interview, it is important you practice what you are going to say during the real interview. Look up some practice interview questions online and study as much of your research and questions as you can. This can help with your nerves the day of the interview, and surprise questions won’t catch you off guard.

Nailing a job interview can be a stressful, nerve-wracking experience for someone looking to land the perfect job. You want to make the right impression to prove to those conducting the interview that you’re worthy of the job. You may not realize it, but a job interview is just as stressful for the person on the other side of the table. Hiring managers have a lot to lose if they don’t hire the right candidate for their company. You may end up with an employee who is not qualified for the job or does not fit the profile of someone best representing your company. The problem is there’s only so much you can learn from an individual during a job interview. It’s important to ask the right questions to potential candidates to see how they respond and to hear the answers you’re looking for. By asking the right questions, you’ll get to find out which candidates are prepared to tell you most clearly why and how they’re the right fit for the job. So, how do you know which questions to ask when conducting a job interview? Here are a few example questions to keep in mind. Test Your Candidate’s Knowledge About Their Current Position and The Position They’re Interviewing For You want to make sure the person you’re interviewing understands what role they’re preparing to take with your company and can demonstrate their value to their former employer. You’ll want to know if the candidate was successful at their old job and can carry over those successes to a new position. Ask about the candidate’s job history and how they progressed to where they are now. You should also ask about how they adapted as their job changed with the company and how they stood out from fellow co-workers. They should also be able to answer questions about what their current employer does for customers and how their role helped the business succeed. This can lead to questions about your business and how the prospective employee can benefit your company. How Does Your Prospective Employee Fit Into Your Company Culture? You’re going to want to know how well your candidate would fit in with your company and fellow employees. That means asking questions about how long it takes the interviewee to complete a task, how well does he or she respond to criticism, what sort of collaborative projects have they worked on at their current position, how much direction do they need to get the job done, and to give an example of a time when he or she had to deal with a crisis or urgent situation on the job. What you’re looking for here is to find out if the candidate will work well with the rest of the team and can be relied on in a pinch to help others and manage difficult situations. How Eager is the Candidate for the Job? What you want to find most of all is a candidate who truly wants to be a part of your team and is chomping at the bit to get to work for you. Many candidates will say the right things about your company and the opportunity, but how do you know if they’re actually excited to be a part of your team? Try to find out which candidate is the most excited and appreciative of the opportunity by asking why they want to work for you, how much they know about the company, how does this opportunity play a role in meeting future career goals, and what stands out the most about the job and the company. If you need additional advice before planning out questions to ask candidates during a job interview, turn to R & H Staffing Services, LLC for help.

When creating your resume, one of the most important things to remember is the old adage, “substance over flash.” Here, that means that the content of your resume is vastly more important than the design template you choose. It’s the content of that resume that really sticks with employers, not the design. Below, we’ve outlined a few key areas of the resume and how you can make easy tweaks to really set yourself apart from your competition, even if you don’t have years worth of employment to list. Showcase Your Qualifications & Accomplishments As they pertain to the job, that is. You may have a lengthy job history that spans different industries or are looking to find your first job and may not have any job experience to show. Whatever the case, you should explore your job history, volunteer work, or extracurricular activities and speak about the areas that apply to the job you want. This also includes any honors, awards, or distinctions that you have received. Remember, you shouldn’t include everything in your history because your resume needs to fit onto one page. Format, Format, Format! A good resume will be sectioned into different categories that keep all of your information organized and ready to read. We recommend having sections for education, accomplishments, skills, work experience, and contact information. Now, while we did say to think about substance over flash, we also advise against going with a very basic resume template. These are a good place to start, but do remember to reformat and add a bit of your personality to it. A resume is supposed to show who you are, after all. Think about professional fonts and language, but remember that you can still highlight who you are in the design. Self Edit & Have Your Friends Help You should always review your resume in depth before submitting it. Mistakes can and do happen, and it would be a shame for your hard work to be cast aside just because of a spelling or grammar mistake that could have been avoided. It’s also a great idea to share your resume with friends or associates so a fresh set of eyes can look over the document and their feedback can be given. Ask them what they think of the language, organization, design, etc. Employment agencies like R & H Staffing Services, LLC are here to help you build experience or to find your next career. We help with temporary employment and temp to hire staffing for businesses across the region. Call our Laredo or Houston/Cypress office today to get started .
