Although every phase of the job search
is significant, probably the most important part of the process is
the interview. The interview will ultimately determine whether you
will be offered employment. Some job seekers make the mistake of putting
more energy into preparing their resume than into preparing for their
interviews.
There have been countless occasions when applicants with extremely
impressive resumes were rejected in favor of applicants with run of
the mill resumes, purely on the basis of interview performance.
What’s the
purpose of an interview?
It helps organizations and job seekers find the right match for their
needs. It lets an employer learn about you and your
Abilities
Talents
Interest
Personality
Work experience
Education
Motivation
And it lets you find out about the employer and their
Needs
History
Work environment
Business activities
Plans for the future
In other words the job interview
is a two way street!
