Job Hunting Anxiety? 4 Tips for Nailing Your Next Interview

April 1, 2019 by Tim McMahon

A job interview is one of the most stressful experiences that you can have, especially if you’re not fully prepared for it. If you want a better chance of nailing your next interview and landing a decent job, consider these four tips.

Research Your Potential Employer

Whether you’ve been interviewing with staffing services, a part-time job or you’re a candidate for your dream job, you will want to research every potential employer who calls you for an interview. It shows that you have an interest in their company, and that you have an attention for detail that will prove to be beneficial for any employer.

Come up with Good Selling Points

The whole point of a job interview is to see if you’re a good fit for the job in question, so you have to sell yourself. Before you go in for your interview, come up with three or four selling points for yourself. These should be reasons why this particular company should want to hire you. What those points are will be determined by what the company really wants in an employee, so decide which of your strengths will be most beneficial for an employer and highlight those during your interview.

Prepare for Some Common Interview Questions

There are hundreds of “common interview questions” that people can expect to hear during an interview, and it’s practically impossible to prepare for them all. When you research the company and the position for which you’re interviewing, try to decide what kinds of questions you might be asked. These should be based on the company’s needs, but it can also be based on your age, your previous job experience, your education, or anything else that might be relevant for your potential new job. Practice answering these questions so you can sound as confident as possible.

Prepare Your Own Questions

Practically every job interview will end with the interviewer asking if you have any questions. Saying that you don’t have any questions can be a kiss of death, so make sure you come up with at least a few. They can be general questions about possibilities for advancement or the kinds of employees the company hopes to see in your position, or they can be more specific questions about the company or the position. You might even come up with a few questions during the interview that you didn’t think about before. Like researching a company, asking questions shows that you are interested in the position, and it is always the most eager applicants that are the most likely to be hired.
