How to Get a Job in Nashville: 4 Interview Tips

From the outfit you wear to how well you prepare, there are many choices you make now that you can improve your performance at your next job interview. Luckily, Express Employment Professionals Nashville North is here to help with tips on how to get a job in Nashville - including how to ramp up your job interview skills.

If you have a big interview coming up, follow these tips from the experts at Express Employment Professionals Nashville North to help you prepare:

• Review whatever you sent in as part of your job application - If you're called in for an interview, it means an interviewer saw something in your resume (or your cover letter/portfolio if you submitted one) that piqued their interest. Look over the documents you applied with so you'll be ready to answer any questions about them.
• Come up with highlights from your work experience - You'll never know exactly what to expect in an interview, but it's a pretty common practice for an interviewer to start with "tell me about yourself" or a similar statement. Make a list of some of the most meaningful (and relevant) accomplishments from your previous positions so you can summarize yourself easily and effectively. 
• Run through a practice interview - If it's some time since your last job interview or you just want to smooth out the wrinkles in your interviewing skills, try a few practice runs with a loved one. Practice answering questions about your background, your interest in the position, and why you think you're the right candidate. Even if you don't get asked the specific questions you practice, you may still feel more comfortable expressing yourself.
• Make a checklist for the big day - Write down everything you need to do on the day of your interview. For example, you may want to confirm that name of your interviewer and double-check the address and how long it will take to get there. We suggest that you arrive early. You may also want to prepare materials like references, a portfolio, a copy of your resume, or a list of questions you plan to ask.
