LOS ANGELES, CA — Job hunters have certainly become smarter nowadays and they have become more self-conscious when it comes to preparing for interviews. However, there’s a tendency to over do some tactics while missing others which are essential to a successful job search. It’s important to strike a healthy balance between the do’s and don’ts of job searching.
Remember, it’s not all about you. People often think that wanting something badly enough will eventually lead to success. Employers are really looking for your actual experience and skills related to the job vacancy. Apply for the right reasons. Don’t apply solely because you like the salary or how accessible the place is to your home. What should initially motivate you to apply is the fact that you know the job fits your personality. It is something you see yourself being excited to do every single day.
Don’t go in unarmed. Before you attend an interview equip yourself with knowledge of the company. Your interviewer will see that you really took some time to get acquainted with the company. During the interview, it’s up to you how you’ll keep the conversation alive. Humor sure is helpful, but achievements are even better. Your interviewer will be very keen to hear about your accomplishments because these can help them evaluate how you can contribute value to their company.
