In this week's job search tip, we're gonna give you a couple quick interview tips.
We're gonna go over some of the most common questions job seekers ask us about
interviews and break it down for you. That's coming up!
Hey guys, I'm Kim with Snagajob, and welcome to job hunters, your weekly advice show.
Where we give you everything from job interview tips to resume advice and
everything in between. Today we're going to fire off some quick
interview tips for you. We're gonna look at some of the questions that jobseekers ask us
and some tips that employers tell us are important to know. Let's get started.
How early should I arrive for my job interview?
You want to get to your interview about 10 minutes early.
Anything before that can make things a little awkward you just kind of standing around.
And anything after that runs you the risk of being late to your interview
and you really don't want to do that.
What should I wear to my interview?
You wanna look as professional as possible. Whatever you do stay
away from jeans and flip-flops. We could not tell you that enough.
Now we're gonna go over in another video specifically what you should wear
in different types of interviews.
What should I bring to my interview?
You definitely want to bring copies of your resume with you.
Even if you think that they'll have a copy of your resume, you wanna be prepared
just in case.
And bring some copies of your references. If they don't ask for it you can always
offer it up at the end of the interview to show that you have some people who
will vouch for you.
And always bring a pen and notepad. It looks like you're really interested in
the job and you can take notes on any questions that you have.
How should I prepare for my job interview?
You really want to make sure that you research the company.
Look at the products they sell, what they're passionate about as a whole, and
come prepared to answer questions about that.
Also, I've probably said this about a thousand times but I'm gonna tell you again
you need to practice before you go into a job interview.
Practice, practice, practice. Practice!
Sit with a friend or family member and have them ask you common job interview
questions and make sure that you are ready and prepared to answer them.
This way it will help you ease the nerves and you'll be ready for whatever
they throw at you.
What happens if I need to reschedule for my interview?
Now this can be a little scary.
But remember, employers are people too and they understand that things do come up.
But you only wanna reschedule if you're really sick, if you've had surgery that day,
or if you have a family emergency. You don't want to reschedule for lame reasons like
my cat looks depressed.
And that's an actual answer we've heard before.
