<h2 class = 'uawtitle'>Matching Talents to the Job - Becoming the Best Interview Applicant</h2><br />
<div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawbyline'>by Christopher S. Everett</div><br /><br />
<div class='uawarticle'> Great news, you've been contacted to interview for a new job you are made for. Anxious to give them your absolute best, you are ready to go into the office and amaze them with all the reasons you should be offered the job. But wait. Have you stopped to consider what the employer is attempting to find and what they will see when they look across the table at you? With that question before you , here are some points to think about from an employer's perspective that may help you know how to face an interview. The best prepared interview interviewees engage in employer empathy. They carefully look at the company in total and then examine what role the vacancy has in the operation and they cater their job interview preparation accordingly. They ask themselves the following question: What skills are a requirement to excel in this job?<br />
<br />
Take a single piece of paper and draw a line down the middle. If you're on a computer, make several columns. On the left portion, write the individual skills that are important in the position. Use the job outline from the ad or request an in depth one when you are contacted for the interview. If you want further information, contact someone who performs a corresponding job or do an internet search for a job similar to this one. On the right side across from each point, write the talents, training and experience you have got for that area. It doesn't really matter where you got them from. This is designed to be a freewheeling and creative exercise similar to the act of brainstorming where the focus is to get you thinking like the employer and thinking like you are working in the job. Self modifying comes later in the process.<br />
<br />
Look at the left (employer's) side and number the talents in those terms of their application to the job, with the most vital talent being number one and move down the list until you are complete. Now do the same for the right hand side. Compare the two sides. What are your best areas? In the ultimate situation, your number one is their number one, your number two is their number two and so on , but we all know things very rarely work out exactly the way we want. Your best areas that fall in the business' top three to five required skills become your areas of focus for the interview. Think about real life examples from each one of these areas that best exemplify your skill set.<br />
<br />
Let us know about yourself. What made you want to interview for this role? What are your strengths? Tell usTell us about a specific achievement in your current career that you're very pleased with. Is there anything you'd like to add? All these questions should be answered with relevent information from as high of a listed talent as practicable. The other very important role this exercise serves is to expose your weaker areas. As you are answering questions and describing your feats, avoid going into these areas of weaknesss as much as humanly possible. Have examples fully prepared for what you have done, but change the subject back to your areas of strength as quickly as possible.<br />
<br />
The significance of this process is best demonstrated by describing a common mistake most people make in interviews. They hit the employer with their best skills, but the employer doesn't need those abilities for this particular position. You have missed a great opportunity to give them a reason to hire you and to show you have considered their wants. Remember that in numerous cases a talented interviewer can identify your strengths and weaknesses but is looking to see how you address them. Handling them in a very professional and confident way will <a href="http://www.howtofaceaninterview-hq.com/">help you know how to face an interview</a>.<br />
