FIND YOUR
PASSION
It's a jungle out there for
job seekers always looking
to stand out in the inter-
view process.
Self-confidence is a
necessity, but it's a delicate
balance talking about
yourself without boasting
about your achievements
while at the same time
demonstrating that you
have the skills and
expertise for the job.
Jobber's Park tells us how.
Exhibit experience
When you're asked a
question, try answering
with examples from your
life. Interviewers often ask
argumentative and tough
questions to see how you
handle high-pressure
situations. These types of
questions can be an
opportunity, provided you
think fast on your feet and
give a genuine and relevant
example from real life.
Be practical
Try to explain how you
would apply theoretical
concepts practically.
Interviewers are looking
for someone who can
process complex informa-
tion and provide simple
solutions.
Introduce yourself well
With your introduction,
tell them about your
learning capabilities with
examples from past experi-
ence. Every job or volunteer
work teaches you some-
thing that you can take
to your workplace – be it
leadership experience,
organizational skills, time
management or even
public speaking.
Advertise your relevance
Show them that you
can solve some of their
problems well. If you're a
financial analyst, you
could discuss the economy
and show you have the
subject expertise. Also
mention why you like being
a financial analyst.
Recruiters look for
motivated individuals who
enjoy the work.
Mention your
achievements
Always tell them about
your accomplishments to
establish credibility. Got a
"best intern award" during
your internship? Got a top
performance recognition?
Let them know. This will
add to the recruiter's
confidence when choosing
to hire you.
Reveal the real 'you'
Explain to the interview-
er your values and beliefs.
The interviewer needs to
be sure that your values
and beliefs do not
contradict with those of
the company.
Never bluff
Let the facts do the
talking. Don't try to project
yourself as a person you
aren't. If you're hired,
you don't want to be
keeping the lie alive the
entire time. And obviously
– this makes you a fraud.
