Your Skill Set and Your Job Interview
(The Crucial Point of Jobhunting)
See Correctly Your Job Skills and Find the Great Job
When applying for a job, it is important for you to recognize your strengths
but even more important to define your weaknesses.
By knowing the needed educational and/or training level, you yourself can discover for
yourself either (a) the fact that you are eligible for a job, or (b) what job skills, skill set, training you
may need to become qualified. For you and for all job hunters some basic information may be found on the
website http://www.college-student.net/list-of-careers/. The website lists some dozens of occupations
with short descriptions (300–400 words) and summarizes the necessary qualifications.
Your skill and qualification is a determining factor when the Human Resources experts
deal with your resume.
-
When you know both your strengths and your weaknesses going into an
interview, you increase your chances of getting the job.
-
When you prepare for an interview you must remember well what you listed in
your resume about your learning institutions, skills, field of interest, hobbies. During the
interview avoid any statements that may conflict with your own written resume. If you
presented a professional resume and are invited to an interview this means, interviewers want to
know more, i.e. the details of the facts you included in your resume.
-
When you express your opinion in an interview be
careful. Employers tend to shy away from applicants that come across as knowing
everything, especially if they show they know something better than their future boss. So appearing
over confident will get you labeled as ineligible, or in the worst situation as intrusive.
Over-emphasizing your skill and training may result in an early end to your
interview.
-
An interview is not only a time for you to answer questions but also for
you to ask questions. You may take the opportunity to present one of your skills or strengths and
ask the interviewer what plans the company has for the position you are applying for. You could
also ask about training and education opportunities you will have once on the job. The Human
Resource policies of a company will have a large influence on your success in and enjoyment of a
new job.
