4 Quick Job Interview Tips - FlexJobs4 Quick Job Interview Tips -2314 Quick Job Interview Tips1) Do some serious research. Hiring managers want to know that you are familiar with the company when theyre interviewing you. Be prepared to answer questions like, What do you know about ur company? and, What attracted you to our business? and even, What did you think about our big news last week? The more you know about a company, the better prepared youll be to demonstrate your sincere interest during the job interview.If possible, follow your companies of interest on Facebook or Twitter to stay up-to-date on their latest happenings and get a sense for how they interact with the public. Are they light-hearted, fun, serious, casual, formal, etc2) Be comfortable with pauses. Its tempting to keep talking to fill the silence because youre nervous, but if youve answered their question, pause and take a breath. Chances are, the interviewer will jump back into the conversation. And if youre not sure if youve done yourself justice with your answer, dont be scared to inquire of the interviewer, Does that answer your question?3) For Phone Interviews Prepare specifically for a PHONE interview. Phone interviews arent like talking to a good friend (though, wouldnt that be nice). The conversation can be awkward unless youve planned accordingly. Youll want to demonstrate your ability to interact well over the phone. Pick a quiet spot to have the interview, and remove any distractions (turn off your computer, put away random objects on your desk, etc.).The only things you need for a job interview over the phone are a copy of your resume, a list of talking points and answers to common interview questions, a list of important info about the company and your interviewer, and a phone.4) Definitely send a thank-you email. Hand written cards are a nice gesture in theory, but if the company is large, it may get deckenfries in the mail room and not reach the intended recipient before they have made a hiring decision. Also, be sure to email each person with whom you interviewed, and make each note different so that they arent all reading the exact same thing.Include your genuine thanks, as well as any specific qualifications you wanted to re-highlight or forgot to mention in the interview.
