2. Are you currently job searching?
With a lot of competition, you can't risk flubbing
your job interview.
If you're determined to get hired ASAP, here are
quick and easy job pre-interview tips to remember
when you get the call you've been waiting for.

3. Don't wait for your interviewer to update
you about the details. Texting them first,
for example, would give them the idea
that you're interested and determined to
get the job. Always ask for specific
details such as the time, date and
directions for clarification purposes.

4. When you don't have a specific job in
mind, you're probably applying in several
companies all at the same time. If,
however, you want to increase your
chances of getting hired, it's best to
customize the cover letter and CV for the
position you want to get more than the
others. Highlight the skills and job
experience that is most related to your
desired position.

cover letter

5. When you have the soft copy of your CV
or resume, it's also important to have
several print-outs ready. More often than
not, interviewers ask for a copy (even if
they have one), so you better be ready to
whip out one when they need it.

6. Though you don't necessarily have to
"dress to impress", you should dress for
the job you want! Don't show up in messy
clothes and sneakers. Wear something
business smart or smart casual. Showing
you put the effort in your appearance
gives bonus points to the interviewer
because it means you actually care about
what they think.

7. If you haven't been to the interview place
before, don't risk it and rely on the Grab
driver to get you there. Relying on your
phone's data plan to help you Google it
while you're on the way is also a bad idea
-- you never know when you might lose
your signal, after all. Take note of all the
landmarks and street names.

8. Big companies, especially, like to ask if
you know any of their products or
services. Even if it's a small company, it's
points for you if you tell them how
familiar you are with their company. Your
knowledge of their enterprise will
demonstrate how interested you are,
because you took the time to actually do
your research.

9. You're almost ready! The next step is to
memorize what's in your resume. This is
so you wouldn't have to look like you're
second-guessing yourself during the
interview. For instance, you'd want to
know exactly how many years or months
you've rendered for a company. Make
sure you know how to pronounce all the
names, positions and software in your
own resume.

10. Don't be caught off-guard with the
inevitable "Tell me something about
yourself" question. Keep your answer
positive and on point. Make it a bit
personal so that you will feel at ease
telling your interviewer about yourself.
Connect it to your applied role by stating
a personal passion or experience that led
to your interest in the job position.

introducting
yourself

11. Think of a time where you encountered a
work or school project to present your
Problem Action Result strategy. Narrate
what you did to solve it and what you
learned from it. With this, your interviewer
will be able to see how you were able to
handle stress, gauge your decision-
making skills, and whether you'll be able
to relay a story in a coherent manner.

anecdote

12. Want to start the interview in a light and
positive mood? That's all possible with a
smile! Put yourself and your interviewer at
ease with the right countenance. Showing
how you're relaxed and in a good mood
will show your confidence in the
interview.
SMILE!

13. Arrive to your interview on time! Leave your house early.
With the traffic situation in the country, it's better to be safe
than sorry. With these tips, you're more than ready for your
face-to-face interview. Get hired sooner by acing your
interview! Good luck!
