4 Ways to Impress in Interviews

When you’re applying for jobs, it can be a nerve wracking time to have to attend interviews. Whether you’re attending an interview on video call or you are sending an interview in person, you have to consider how you are going to impress your potential employer. If you’re getting to the stage where they are interested in meeting with you, usually it’s a solid formality to check your personality and see whether or not you would fit. 

Many of the things that you would need to do to ace an interview are not the same things that you need to do to get through a screening process. For example, you might not think about the shoes that you’re wearing, but the Alden shoes that you choose are going to be far better than anything else. You need to make sure that you are dressed smartly, you’ll have a copy of your CV with you, and you are ready to attend that interview answering questions like a pro. There are four ways that you can impress below.

  • Learn about the company. Before you go to any interview, you should always do your due diligence and learn about the business. Everything you think you know right now you need to strip back and get onto the us section of the website and then more. Do they have any competitive trophies that they have one or awards? Are they expanding any time soon? Look at the website and make sure that you learn all the details. It can make a big difference as to whether or not you impress them.
  • Press well. The reason we talked about the shoes earlier on is because you need to be able to direct well to impress somebody. Professional wear is the smartest thing that you can wear in the interview, because when you do that, you’re going to make a huge difference to the outcome. Be willing to dress well and put on your smelter suits. Even if they are not a smart suit wearing company, you need to consider how they’re going to be able to see you in the interview process
  • Have a conversation not a monologue. When you’re in an interview, you are at the center of attention but that doesn’t mean you need to wax lyrical about the last time you did something amazing. Make a point of having a conversation and asking insightful questions. While you are answering the question, come back with one so that in your interviews they can see that you are interested in the role and in them as a company.

Show your efforts. A cool part of the strategy of your interviews is to make sure that people have a sense of what it’s like to work with you. You can do this from the way that you act in the way that you engage during the interview process. If you can highlight some of the things that demonstrate your capabilities you’re going to be able to show off a little bit about yourself in the best possible way.
