how to get a job in Niagara County, our team at Express Employment Professionals Niagara has some advice about prepping for an interview.
In the lead up to your next job interview, try the following tips so you'll be ready to show off your skills and make an excellent impression:
- Learn what you can about the business - These days, you can learn so much about a company and even the people who will be interviewing you with some simple online research. Go to the company website to find an overview of the company's services and pay close attention to how they describe themselves and their mission. You can also check out LinkedIn for details about specific employees that you may be able to connect with.
- Summarize your experience and skills - Many interviews follow a similar pattern even if the questions aren't exactly the same. At some point you may be asked to describe yourself, list the accomplishments you're most proud of, or otherwise sum up yourself and your abilities. Review your resume and think about the achievements you'd mention and any specific stats you'd bring up.
- Ask a friend to interview you - If it's been some time since your last interview, try to get back in that frame of mind by doing a mock interview with a loved one. Write a list of common interview queries like "what are your biggest weaknesses and strengths?" and invite your friend to ask their own questions in the moment to catch you off-guard. This is a great time to practice a tight one-minute-or-less description of yourself as well.
