An Interview is a serious business. For some, it’s an opportunity to prove their experience and expertise; for others, it may be a test of their emotional stability.

Tips for Students to ACE an Interview<\/h2>\n

Interviewing for a job is nerve-wracking, but it doesn’t have to be. If you’ve got the skills and experience, all that’s left is presenting yourself in the best possible light. Here are some tips for students on how to ace an interview:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 1. Do your research:<\/h3>\n

Find out as much as you can about the company before the interview. This will help you tailor your answers, and show that you’re serious about the role. You’ll be expected to have some knowledge of what the company does, so having this information on hand is a great way for the interviewer to gauge whether you’ve done your research or not.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a02. Dress appropriately:<\/h3>\n

The last thing you want is to turn up in jeans and trainers when everyone else is wearing suits. Make sure your clothes are clean and ironed (or at least look like they have been).<\/span><\/p>\n

When it comes time to meet with your interviewer, pay attention to what other people are wearing at the office or business event where you\u2019re meeting them \u2014 this will give you an idea of what type of dress code they expect employees to follow. If there are other people around when you arrive at their office or business meeting place, try to dress similarly to them so that they don\u2019t think less of your professionalism.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a03. Make eye contact with your interviewer:<\/h3>\n

There’s nothing worse than someone who won’t hold eye contact with you during an interview \u2014 so don’t do it yourself! Look at each person individually while they’re talking, not at the floor or ceiling or anything else around you. It makes people feel uncomfortable if you don’t look them directly in their eyes when they’re speaking to you.<\/span><\/p>\n

Relax and don’t chew gum! Don’t slouch either \u2014 sit upright with good posture.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a04. Practice makes perfect:<\/h3>\n

You’ve probably heard this one before, but it’s true. When you prepare for an interview with a mock scenario, it can help you get in the right mindset and answer questions without stumbling over your words.<\/span><\/p>\n

It<\/span>‘s a good idea to practice answering common job interview questions before going into an actual interview situation. You can do this by writing down all of the questions that you think might be asked during an interview, and then practising them with a friend or family member who will give feedback on how well you answered each question.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Tips

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a05.\u00a0 Look up keywords in advance:<\/h3>\n

When you’re asked a question, try to think of an example from your experience that shows how you can solve a similar problem. This will show the interviewer that you’ve done your homework and have thought about the question ahead of time. When people hear certain words or phrases during an interview, they tend to respond in certain ways. For example, if an interviewer asks you what motivates you at work, they may be looking for one of these responses: “I like being part of a team,” “I love seeing my work make an impact,”\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

TAKEAWAY<\/h2>\n

Remember that no matter what the person on another side of the table has to say about it, the interview is about finding out whether or not you are a good fit for the job opening and can add value to the organization. Approach it from that perspective and you should be fine. Have fun, let loose, and don’t stress yourself out\u2014the worst thing you can do is bring a bad attitude into an interview.<\/span><\/p>\n
