What To Know Before an Interview!

Things to know before an interview

The things you need to know before an interview are: 1. Why did you apply for the role?
Whatever the reason, know your “why” and be ready to enunciate it. You just need to be active for the new role.

2. Why do you want to work for the company in question?
Don’t tell them who and what they are; they already know that. Tell them what makes the company appealing to you. whats attract you for the interview in terms of work. 3. What is your understanding of the role?
This is your interpretation of the job description. Try to explain them in a better manner. 4. How will you add value to the company?
Talk about your strengths and what makes you the best candidate with the match of the job profile. 5. Know your own resume inside out.
You may be asked to talk them through it so prepare it several times for any random questions from your resume. 6. Know your expectation of salary, benefits, bonus and commissions.
Try to find out what fair market value is, or ask your recruiter. If you already know from the reference than you can also go for as per company norms.

7. Know what your current employment notice period is and what your start date can be.

For better understanding of both the sides. 8. Know how to answer behavioural questions using C.A.R.L. (Context, Action, Result, Learning)

I have mentioned in my posts about C.A.R.L and it is really important:

C.A.R.L is the technique to answer behavioural interview questions such as these: “Tell me about a time when you had to challenge a management decision.” “Tell me about a time when you made a major decision that turned out to be the wrong one.” “Tell me about a time when you led a team.”

C.A.R.L. = Context, Action, Result, Learning. How? a. Context: what role were you in; what was the task/problem/situation? b. Action: what did you do and how did you do it? c. Result: what was the outcome of your actions? Quantify if possible. d. Learning: what did you learn from the experience? 9. Know something about the workplace culture in advance.
Connect with current and former employees and you can also search for reviews on Glassdoor or on Google.

10. Know the background of your interviewer(s).
Review LinkedIn and Google. Most importantly, know that if you are prepared and are simply yourself, You have just as much chance as anybody else!

Thats all for it!
