Job Interviewing is a learned skill.
Very few people are "naturally" good interviewees.
What transform a person from an interviewee into someone who gets the job can be summed up with the following five phrases:
- good interviewees understand the interview process and have anticipated the questions they will be asked;
- good interviewees have researched the company, the job demands, the field, and the interviewer, and use that information to their advantage during interviews;
- good interviewees have a thorough knowledge of what they can offer an employer, what they want from employers, and what sets them apart from the competition;
- good interviewees have invested time and energy in building powerful interview responses, and they practice answering common interview questions;
- good interviewees are persistent. They follow up after interviews, send thank-you notes, and refuse to accept rejection without learning something from it.
The information in this course addresses each of the preceding points.
