7 ways to increase your chances of a job offer.
During an interview, you will be asked numerous questions that will test your poise, ability and most of all, your interest in the job. They are asked so the interviewer can make a decision on the following things: Can you do the job; will you complement the team ethos & culture; are you willing to put in the extra effort; are you manageable & is the salary right. Please note that only one is directed at your ability to do the job.
Don’t fluff your research!
The quality of your research can win or lose you an interview. It can significantly increase your chances because your interviewer will consider your research as a reflection of your enthusiasm, interest & commitment to the role. It shows you are up for the challenge, thorough, genuine & competent & almost all employers like those traits.
