Don"t Be Unemployed - Help With Your New Job Search & How to Job Interview
If you've been recently become unemployed after a while at work or made redundant, (it's becoming quite noticeable that there are more and more jobs being made redundant in the UK - with more to come) it is a shock to the system that can have a long-lasting negativeeffect on some people.
It's the not being wanted or rejection that gets at people.
Some people, however, treat it as a positivein that they may start their own business, change their career to one that they really want, or some people just take it on the chin and get themselves sorted out with another job.
If you are looking at getting a new job, you may have to take a step backwards to take a forward step or two and the main obstacle that people who have become unemployed after a long time in employment is how to job interview.
If you are successful with your new job search, you will have to 'endure' a job interview or interviews to get back to work and get that new job.
Remember, the whole point of your CV or resume is to generate some interest from the potential employer and to get you through the door - then the hard part of the interview takes place.
The primary purpose of the interview is to obtain the 'best' candidate to fill the vacant position - simple as that.
There are many tough questions that may be asked in an interview and you have got to be prepared for them.
You've got to do some preparation on finding out about the Company you applying to for a job, but unfortunately, this may not now be enough.
If there are a lot of candidates for that one, solitary job, why and how are you going to stand out from the rest? It's not enough any more just to have a quick read of your CV/resume and quote this parrot-fashion - employers want to see how you operate first-hand and with the current high unemployment figures, they can afford to pick & choose.
Arm yourself with some positive answers to the tough questions you may be asked that reflect your own personality and experience(s) and not some off-the-shelf standard response.
You can use 'buzzwords' all day but if you can't back them up with something solid and tangible, you are wasting both your and the interviewer's time.
So, how do you anticipate the answers to these 'tough' questions in a job interview? Well, you've got to approach things from the following angle:- * Understand the reason behind the question that is asked - only then can you respond confidently & successfully * Base your response to tough questions on YOUR own experiences, skills and personality, NOT some hackneyed, standard answer YOU falsely believe the interviewer may want to hear.
