4. Would you hire someone like yourself for the job?
A lot of candidates have attitude problems. Most attitude problems come from fear, but show up as defiance.
Hiring managers want candidates who they can train and rely on, not ones with inability to take instructions or feedback.
Be honest to yourself and keep your eyes and ears open. If your friends always complain about your indecisiveness or poor listening skills, now is the time to pay attention and take some corrective action. If unattended, these can become roadblocks in your career.
5. Can you communicate clearly and with conviction?
A lot of candidates give a negative impression by performing poorly during the interview.
Speak up, speak clearly, make eye contact and use facial expressions.
The first impression you make on the interviewer depends primarily on your communication skills. If you can't get the interviewers' attention in first few minutes, they won't really give you a chance to demonstrate your technical know-how or knowledge.
Ask your potential employers for feedback every time you attend an interview.
6. Can you stay from cribbing and complaining?
Most candidates complain about past employers or bring up personal information. Perhaps it was not your intention to complain or reveal information, but you honestly answered the beguiling 'entrapment' question of 'Tell me a little bit about yourself.'
Caution! Stay focused on the job interview with answers about your experience, education, skills, and success. Be positive and, remember, never say anything bad about a former employer or give unnecessary details about how your last job ended.
Any employer would love to hear about how you took responsibility for your actions and learnt from your mistakes.
If you left your last job under less-than-ideal circumstances, don't lie about it. A background check would reveal the truth anyway. Make sure the interviewer understands what happened to cause you to leave your last job was the exception, not the rule.
An honest introspection is critical to your success in an interview. So, put on your thinking cap and impress yourself before you impress a potential employer.
ALL THE BEST & THANK YOU
