Your objective of an interview is to get a job offer. Preparation is key when it comes to interviewing. Before you interview, you should be able to articulate well your skills, abilities, interests, educational background, experience, strengths and weaknesses, and how these attributes will benefit the organization. Practice, dress appropriately, know what to bring with you, and have questions prepared to ask the employer.
Purpose of an Interview
An interview is an opportunity to present yourself and your skills to your best advantage. You have something to sell and it's up to you to convince the interviewer that you have what the company is seeking.
An interview is also a meeting for the mutual exchange of information. The employer will try to determine if you have the qualifications necessary to do the job and it's a chance for an employer to share information on their organization. It's also an opportunity for you to determine whether the company, firm, or agency will give you the opportunity you seek.
Whether or not you land the job you want often depends upon your skills in marketing your potential. Don't miss out on a good job for which you are qualified due to a lack of interview preparation and practice.
