Interview Technique

Interview technique is a very important asset to posess. There are a number of facets that one has to bear in mind because nobody wants to be landed with a job that they had no desire for.

So here, courtesy of Goth World, are a few tips to bear in mind:-

• Try and be prepared - it's important that you can quantify your career to date especially when you get asked about particular dates in your career history.
• Always look the interviewer straight in the eye - it is important to give off a sense of trustworthiness.
• Do not be drawn into embellishing on your achievements to date - it is very easy to get caught out on any inaccuracies.
• Research is paramount - you really must know the background of the job you are being interviewed for.
• Bear in mind that if you are being interviewed, they already want you for the job - it is just whether you say the things they want to hear.
• Ensure your referees are going to say favourable things about you (it's pointless using a referee who countermands what you have declared).
• Keep it simple - the more complex your explanations, the more likely it is you will get caught out at a later date.

So there you have it, a simple Gothic guide to interview technique.

Oh, I almost forgot, it's usually very wise to ensure that you have a solicitor/attorney present.

That way the bastards can't twist what you said !!
