For many job seekers, the hardest part of finding the perfect job is surviving the dreaded interview. However, learning a few essential interviewing tips can ensure that you ace your job interview say Mark Palmenter and Maria Garcia, Harvard graduates and co-authors of the Interview Survival Kit's8482;.



Tips for Acing Your Job Interview

Harvard Graduates Provide Essential Interviewing Tips for Job Seekers.



Interview Survival Tip #1: Analyze your personal values

An interview is as much about you deciding whether a firm fits your personal values as it is about the firm gauging you as a potential new hire. Doing a little bit of work up front to figure out the type of company you want to work for prior to entering the boardroom will help you feel more confident. It will also ensure that the interview is a dialogue about understanding whether you and the firm are a good match for each other and not just a test about whether you qualify to do the job.



Interview Survival Tip #2: Over-prepare

Treat your interview like a final exam. Browse the company's8217;s website and read their annual reports and press releases. If the company sells its goods at a store, take a field trip to look at the packaging and consumer reactions to the product first-hand. Most importantly, make sure you walk into your interview feeling that you can speak comfortably about how your past experiences will help your potential employer given its current business climate.



Interview Survival Tip #3: Put your best foot forward

While it may seem obvious to most, making a good first-impression and a strong, lasting one is a critical factor to landing your top job. In fact, hiring decisions are often made within the first few minutes of an interview. So 's8211; leave the cell phones at home, shine your shoes, make sure your clothes are clean and ironed, and walk into the room with a presence that demands attention.



Interview Survival Tip #4: Be prepared to ask a few questions yourself

Make sure you prepare at least two questions to ask your interviewer towards the end of your discussion. Ask about career development opportunities, recent mergers and acquisitions, or trends in the marketplace. Having strategic questions at hand not only shows that you put thought into your interview, but also suggests that you really are interested in the company and its future.



For many people, surviving an interview is often the hardest part of the job hunt. However, with a little bit of introspection and preparation, you can be sure you enter the boardroom prepared to ace your corporate interview.
