INTERVIEW TECHNIQUES

What is an Interview?

An interview is a focused conversation where you and the interviewer are exchanging information in order to come to a decision. For the interviewer, this means learning more about your experience, skill set, and personality. For you as a candidate, it means finding out about the employer’s needs and showing how you can add value to their company if they decide to bring you on as part of the team. It’s also a chance to you to determine whether the role is right for you and whether the company is a place where you would really learn to prosper.

Being invited for an interview is a great achievement in itself. It means that the employer is impressed by your CV and thinks you’re probably suitably qualified and experienced for the position. The interview is the next step in the hiring process and a chance for them to find out whether you are a good fit for the company and the role.
