Résumé and Job Interview Training
Job interview theory and practice are, to the detriment of job seekers, often seen as an afterthought. Learn what are the common questions and the logic behind them. Or to put it another way, get inside the recruiter's head: what they're really asking you during the interview.
Practice
The main component here is practice. Not just to make you more comfortable and relaxed, but to make it so when you're in the hot seat, you're thinking less, and recalling memory more. By lightening your neurological load* you'll come over as being more comfortable, and you'll do a much better job at modifying your answers on the fly. Also, I GUARANTEE you'll be less nervous than you otherwise would have been without the practice.
Feedback
Lets compare your answers with what interviewers are looking for, and and analyse how changes in your answer effect your chances.
Theory
The logic behind interview questions, tricks to conquer nervous body language, and more.
What To Ask
"Do you have any questions for us" is the one question the interviewer is guaranteed to ask. If you just respond with, “No, I have already heard what I need to know”, then it makes you seem disinterested and complacent. Even worse, if you ask the wrong questions, you could immediately invalidate the rest of the interview.
Far too many candidates take a passive role during job interviews. Question time is an opportunity to counter any holes in your resume and interview by detailing relevant experience or other skills you have. Taking a more proactive role during interviews is also important because it allows you to steer some of the conversation, and therefore leave more of the impression you want.
