Interview Tips : First face to face interview
| You have won the prize-a "face to face interview with the employer." Now it is up to you, if you want the job you must go for it. Study the following suggestions and ideas, some of these may help you. PREPARATION
1. Late for the interview without calling CLOSING THE INTERVIEW
2. Second, go over all the benefits, making sure you fully understand those as well. 3. And thirdly, talk about salary. If you expected more then they offered, say something like "I expected a higher starting salary." 4. Do not state that the market is higher, or you know someone in the same type of job that is getting more, or you need more to live. These comments never work. 5. If they can not raise the starting salary, ask for a review with a performance raise earlier than planned. 6. If this does not work, ask if they can do anything to help you. If they cannot then you have to deal with the offer as it is. This is the time to ask for some time to think about it, maybe a couple of days. If you are working with a recruiter bring the offer to him/her before you make a decision. 7. Remember when you turn an offer down, that's it. It is nearly impossible to recover from a turndown. Therefore, do not decline an offer until you have considered all sides; and, you are sure that is what you want to do. Take the necessary time you need: ask additional questions and talk to people who know about the company and the particular position in question. Good offers (even though not perfect) are hard to come by. 8. If this is your first job opportunity, your evaluation of the offer must be based on the potential of you learning and adding new skills to increase your employment worth and help establish a career path. |
