Day : One Week Marathon of Blog posts. [ Job Interview ]

Job interview plays an important role in our life. It helps us to get get a job that we're interested in. But, getting our ideal job is not as easy as you think, that is why having a good first impressions are important to us. So, what exactly are these things that we need to boost our first impressions to the employers during a job interview?

    Firstly, doing research on the company is significant to shows that you have done your homework before going to an interview. Having slightly more details about the company's background and stuffs will bring the employers to think that you are really interested in this company that you kind of "stalked it". Thus, the chances of them wanting to actually hire you are way up in the skies.

    Well that's one thing, the other way is actually dress neatly before going for the interview. If an employer has to choose between two, one with messy clothing but slightly smarter than the other, or one with neat clothing but slightly dimmer than the other? Obviously the one slightly smarter right? But that's not the point, the point is employers will want their employees to dress neatly during working hours as there might be VIPs visiting them even though the company you're trying to get in is a small company, but even a boy can dream big right?

    Enough of that point, moving on to the next, well obviously you will be asked questions in an interview but what if you're bad at talking in front of the employers like I do? Like having some words stuttered even though you have practiced those boring lines that you're trying to impress them over and over again. It's tough but having self confidence in oneself is important and helps you to speak well in front of many, but that will be another point on it's own partially unrelated to this point.

    Last but not least, preparing a resume is actually pretty useful, I don't know who in this world will actually think a resume isn't important in an interview but let's be real. Going for an interview without a resume is the same as sending yourself that doesn't know how to dance, to a dance battle. It's pure pathetic, but that's not the real point. The real point is we have to "look" professional when we're getting interviewed, probably iron your clothes for once and shave your beard and mustache before you go for it is advisable.

    Well, moral of the story is, ask help from seniors before going for an interview. :D
