So every interview, even if you're nervous, there is matter who you are when you're facing other people, protect the people, mess before. And you may have watched The Apprentice in the UK. And when I get through to the final round span of five, they get really interrogated on the interviews and really ask some critical questions. Really, most of the time, interviews are not really that's hot, but can be. So don't get me wrong. There can be some brights up once and write tricky questions bus. And often an interview is just as nervous as you are very keen to break the ice. These could be future colleagues and they really wants to try and get along with you, as well as identifying you have the right skills and experience. And I certainly don't want to scale up great time. So either if you have somebody who appears to be the right fit for the job, they're going to want to keep you interested in accompany on them, but make no mistake. You OOP in assessing charged to other rounds. And so you're going to be nervous and is quite normal and being aware that you need to just keep it under control, but also have a good night's rest, void stimulants like coffee and cola before the interview. Try to get a good night's sleep before interviews while time is going to pay a memory, make you look on interests it and you definitely don't want that.

Get a good night's, rest of boys stimulants dress appropriately and competently repaired those key questions because that's how you gain your confidence. 6. 5 Phone interviews: So phone interviews, potency was a quite common, particularly in the early rounds though the LPNs superseded by video interviews. But you're still going to have some experience which or over the telephone. And so they are usually for pre-screening to East scheduling, maybe HR person we'll call the top 20 potential candidates took 30 candidates. It's good to ensure that you have a good quality headset. And we're talking, ideally plug it into goods causing good sounding voice and make notes as you're going along. Make sure your room is quiets, where you're doing the voting is free from and that it does not echo. And echoes can be a real killer. Practice recording some answers and see how you sound. You come across clearly and positively. Ensure there are no background noise is aircraft or machine works could distract you. And also it may seem in formal as you may be at home, but take us seriously as any other institute, it's really important to get this right. You don't get it right. So be well-prepared even for this interview on the telephone, you want to have all the background research to accompany the job? No. See that maximum skills and experience to the job description, you must have all that ready. Look at actual phone. They can't see. You can look at your notes, keeps a hand job description and a CV. Ideally, you have these prepared with the skills quiet and you're matching skills and experience, use positive gestures as this can be felt over the telephone. I just speaking.

Your cause your answers to a series of questions could be three or four, could be 10. And it might also be potentially time to written. You'll probably have an option to use your phone.

So you need to have a few positive in front of gestures to come across somebody who is interested and interesting to talk to and take down the interview process. 8. 7 Virtual Interviews: Video interviews. This is whereby you're speaking to a person who actually physically with them, but you can see each other over the screen. And I make one person they did panel for a common nowadays, replace a lot of phone interviews because we have see somebody Qc h is far more clearly the kind of person you are dealing with and you can pick up other things as well. Obviously, again, like ponies, music, voice, traveling to the interior repeatedly, sudden your answers very, very important. I suggest using a PC for a video into your laptop rather than a phone, but you can keep your phone as a backup. I'm going to stand with the earpiece as well, just make sure it can be heard clearly. But it could cause he might propose any PC laptop will make you sound more clearly, clear and reduce Echo and could cause the camera will help you be seen with nice image and press record some answers and see how you look and sound and makes sure that the room is bright and quiet and does not echo.

So this is why so many graduates are working shafts or maybe a university or college, or you were searched a job and a career that you want. And job interviews are like exams. You either pass or fail only and only one person can actually pass.

So it's an opportunity to show how you can turn a negative question. So a positive and what are your weaknesses? The question could be asked any stage, but as usually asked, a pre-screening made by HR and the early stages. So it's essential to have this common question is going to be asked probably to everybody and a poor response can lead to elimination. You can definitely stay tuned to everything.

But the question really is focused on what are your work achievements because they wanted to see how you achieve something within a work setting. And the interviewer wants to hear about challenges you faced and how you overcame them. So here you have to create a story. What role did you pay as part of the company's success that you receive an award for doing so, if you have done, That's fantastic thing, I'll take that sort of thing. So whatever, What's individual children do you have as advanced your career? So again, if you've had a chillers, took your quiz next place, that was a great example. March image to have as part of the office family. So it could be anything within team. I've given outline of the achievements. So that is a broad idea. I was instrumental in winning a big contract.

Question could be asked any interview stage. There's often asked to pre-screening and possibly by HR. So you must feel bad for this question like all the others, and it's very common.

Long and productive company with them in that role, in that company. So even though no one can predict the future or how roles and opportunities involve so many objects or things in the world.

So if you give an unprepared answer, it will be obvious and you may not advance of the final stages or offer advanced beyond their sensory or even this particular question. So keep the answer general, not specific. It's about growing from where you stars within the role. Once you've started in a company, you can say I expect to be advancing based on my performance with increased responsibility, that is over time. So five years with walking. And you can ask, where do you see this job leading to in five-years? So you can ask them question of what their vision is for the role and how the company and the role develops.

If an acceptor range is actually given, then you can say, thank you. I think that range works for me. I see myself is somewhere within that particular range. If you've reached the final rounds and it's best to let the employer may offer to you. So they've given you what their offer is. If pressed for a precise number at the final stage, give ants and adult least 10 percent. 21. 20 Interview Question Why should we Hire you: Why should we hire you?

Now, you better be prepared for this one every single time because it's going to be asked yet a lot of interviews. So you could just say No, thank you. I think you've covered everything.

I will leave an impression that you are genuine interests, a job, the company, and the people interviewing, you could ask, where do you see the company going over the next few years? So this will give the opportunity for the interviewer to show what they think, the viciousness of the company going forward. You've demonstrated, you were showing you that interests. You could ask, what could I be doing this role to help a team and a company achieve its goals. So you're showing that you're prepared to do the work that's necessary to be an active team player, to help the team and the company to be successful. What is the culture of the company? So giving yourself the opportunity to show how you fit him when they ask that particular question. So the bout demonstrates a willingness to fit in to that culture. So what challenges do you see a head for this role? So again, you're looking, expecting challenges and you're ready to take them on you or somebody that's open to challenges you recognize the role is not going to be straightforward. What you expect some in first 30, 60, 90 days. So basically usually the probation periods of many people go through. It demonstrates that you became some Mason exceeds expectations. So you get through the probation and you'll go on to be a long serving productive member of seeing. Can you describe for me the types of people are successful in the role. This is asking them a chance to give you a list of things you can say. And I match those skills, qualities, and experience. So it's general expectations. I have some questions prepared. Ask questions about the company's future. Asked questions about expectations and challenges were wrong. 23. 22 Signs the Interview Went well: Science at the interview went well. So acids, you may wonder how wagons and you may very critical of yourself of errors made and you can do very self-conscious about and feedback. Yeah, it doesn't always come very often for many interviews unfortunately. And it's something that is very frustrating for candidates, of course. And the most common sign in if you actually went well is being called for the next interview last year indication, but you've been caught next interview. I hope we made an offer if it was a finite or enough outbreaks. So it took a while. But you sort of wants no. Maybe even during the interview or when you're sort of thinking about how when, other than those things, what indicated that it went really well for you? How to think about it. I've been asked to schedule a time to the next round of interviews is a positive sign there, tying you into accepts the next stage. And by doing that case, the level of interests could find. So you've got a really strong connection to the person gets an already, well, you know, people hire people, they like. It's a positive bias. But it works in your favor in this particular case. Interview over running time, a great conversation with strong candidates. You know, they're, they're just enjoying chatting reviews. There's gotta be a positive sign. It's worth noting that short interviews as well do not mean that the interview went badly. It could be that it's just an early stage interview and resource candidates to interview. So they give you an office tall, show you how welcoming the places that's encouraging you to want to join them. This week gives you lost information about next steps, next people involved, why she questions about likely to accept an offer. These all great positive signs. If the interviewer continues a positive conversation that walking out with you is the protocol strong fee and you are very strong contender for the role. And so again, that's about feelings and wives. And take that to heart because it's probably a good sign. Missing other members of teams and potential coworkers. Again, they're not going to want to do that if you're not a strong candidates. They don't guarantee of course, any of these signs, so you are going to get the job, but they're just signs that you've done particularly well. You still need to prepare for every subsequent interview and not be complacent about it. You may status for securing that dream job. Finance view. Often negotiation reference check hadn't gnosis counteroffers your first day probation. So lot of things go through before plain sailing. 24. 23 Keeping your job safe and advancing your career: Okay. Keeping your current job and your career safe and secure in the good times is COVID or global financial crisis. And the companies undergoing restructuring is difficult and you're in a job and maybe you don't want to leave your job, you match, you have to be reinstitute even for your current job. And so deeply concerned or all sorts of reasons about how you can better explain your current job or if your company is facing difficulties, we can see other organizations are doing well. And maybe what you need to do to be able to move on effectively and safely. So for every one place needs circumstances is obviously a very, very stressful. So during these few things may help minimize complex with the boss. And co-workers. Be like Wolpe accommodating. So quite obvious things really, maybe already like that. We have seen as somebody who is pleasant to be around and helps be seen as a positive influence can definitely improve your statute within an organization.

But if you associate your job is in danger, you can ask HR, but other opportunities maybe for sideways move. And this can help evaluate if your company has capacity and willingness to help. See your show it. You won't see any organization, but maybe your team isn't going to last. It's better speeds HER sometimes before your bosses as could be seen as a person negative. And then a button you put at the top of his list of people that fire within the team, particularly something like sales. Maybe it's time to re-evaluate your Korean update your resume though. If companies going through hard times, you may need to consider that you have to be wrong. So research market opportunities and companies are expanding and hiring. Remember, HR recruiters always looking for exact fix experience, skills and characteristics. So if you are applying for another job and you call one, you'll want to deeper, you're looking to leave. Then you've got to make sure that you are 99 percent fears for any job that you apply for. In recessions. During COVID crisis, there's going to be a lot of competitors out there. So check that the company is doing well and isn't a strong base of growth to protons. So some organizations a great time to others. What you have is career opportunities to grow and develop your career. So you need to research the company culture like densified. You're going to be happy working in this new organization if you're aiming for a career change, needs to research on what kind of certifications you may need for a new career that you're choosing. Speeds, people that you know connected with about what it takes to be successful in this new career. What collections, work groups you have to auditable certifications. Do you have to have started networking, joining social media groups and find out about those certifications and opportunities within that career that you want since moved into waiting for a big retrench repair or furlough. Use those months, so secure your future for retrenchment work the nurses to the end, leave on good terms. If you can offer the meantime negotiate and gnosis period reduction with your current employer. If they'll give a chain as well, It's negotiate because it's employed and make a new employer whites as Andy couldn't change in six months. In the meantime, the new company, maybe it's found somebody else or something has changed. Employers are more likely to hire somebody who is currently employed rather than after. It doesn't say so y is still currently working. You need to secure your next role. If you're on furlough and secure something before the end to take your career forward. You might go back out further, but you may know, you don't know. So you've got to take your create new hands. The pressure you will feel afterward doesn't say and make manufacturability perform while, since I've seen many times, many, many times I'm interviews candidates and not failing because avoid about some things. Especially when a saving the dwindling, it may become more likely to appear anxious, setting something not suitable for you, then you don't make another move down the line. But no one is safe in their employment. So if you see bad signs in your company, the new uniforms, think about taking action, stay where it's upskilling or looking to move on. In the meantime, I'd been asked and positive, positive influence to compose and colleagues secure your income and current position puts day, but do not bury your head in the sand.
