How to Nail that Job Interview as a Slidell Jobs Seeker


As you apply for Slidell jobs one of the best things that can happen is to finally be called in to interview. It's certainly a great feeling to meet an employer face-to-face. The interview is a crucial step in landing that job so here are some things you should do, and some things you definitely should not do, that will help you land that position.

1. Do practice before interviewing. When you try to improve your golf swing, you mile time, your video game high score or learn another language, you practice. Why not do so with a job interview? Working on your delivery, anticipating questions, and perfecting your tone can only help. Get some friends to do a mock interview with you. The stress of the job interview is something everyone can relate to, and they’ll be eager to help.

2. Don't interrupt your interviewer. Interviewers can do a lot of talking, and what they have to say (particularly regarding the company) is usually vital for you to hear. You would do well to listen more than you speak, and you don’t want to come across as rude or desperate.

3. Do ask questions. The question and answer process is a two way street in the job interview. So feel free to ask away; it shows engagement.

4. Don’t lie. Honesty is always the best policy in the job interview. If you don’t know an answer to a question, it is always better to admit your ignorance than to make something up on the fly.
