Entrevistas de seleco para emprego (Job interview)
The interview is usually the second step when you are looking for a job.
How to impress?
How can candidates prepare the job interview?
Here are some of the most important aspects to consider before the interview.
1. Put on appropriate clothing: You don't have to wear a suit but you should look neat and tidy.
2. Work out what questions you might be asked: If you do this, you can plan your answers.
The two most obvious questions are always 'Why do you want to work here?' and 'Why do you
think you would be good for this job?'.
3. Find out about the company before the interview.
4. Turn up on time: Try to get there 15 minutes early so you can have a coffee or use the
toilet before the interview. You should phone the company if you are late.
5. Relax: An interview is your chance to meet the people who can help you get the job you want.
When in an interview you have to sell yourself. Referring some of your personal qualities
and your professional qualifications may help you get the job.
