Sunday Tip - Are you ready???

Hi job seekers! I hope you have a had some rest this weekend? You do need all your energy for the new week, Are you ready?

Ready for your interviews this week? I know that telling you to 'Be Prepared' for an interview is cliche but it can never be over emphasised.

However, being prepared for an interview does not simply mean memorising your CV from the head to the bottom, it does not only mean memorising ready made answers or even questions for the recruiter/interviewer or practising your pronunciation and reciting facts about the organisation.

Being ready for an interview also involves taking a moment to step out of your shoes and step into the shoes of the organisation. Why do you think the organisation has advertised for this vacancy, what do you think they expect? The recruiters' are humans after all are they not?

Is the position core to the activities of the organisation? If I owned this organisation; What kind of person would I be looking for? - Selah. You must know that the organisation means business, they are looking for someone to fill a role in order for the organisation to achieve its goals. It's bigger than you. The answers to this exercise completes your preparation.

So yes! Always ask that question, have a good think about it before rushing off to the interview. You do usually only have that one chance to make an impression on the recruiter. So stop, look in the mirror and ask yourself - Are YOU Ready??

Why should we give you the job?
