This is fortunate because we can improve jobâ€"interviewing skills, while there is little we can do about our school grades or previous experience. We are learning more and more about the job interview process, and the result is a growing number of techâ€" niques which can improve one‘s chances of getting the job. Going on a job interview usually brings about a tremendous amount of anxiety for several reasons. First, the interview is quite brief; the large majority are less than 30 minutes. Second, we really don‘t get much chance to practice or learn about jobâ€"interviews. They‘re private affairs, so we can‘t watch a good applicant to see what (s)he does; nor do we get enough practice to relax and learn from our mistakes. Third, we don‘t get any feedback on how we did. We either get the job or we don‘t, and that‘s about the extent of the feedback. So, it‘s hard to know what to do differently, and it‘s easy to make the same mistakes over and over again. Finally, because they are brief and important to us, the job interview causes anxiety, and the anxiety itself can impair our performance. 3055 Dundas St. W. ART‘S FISH CHIPS ®HAC y .

If it is your first job, and you are fresh out of school, one cannot rely on experience to conâ€" vince the interviewer â€" instead the candidate may bowl them over with enthusiasm, eagerness to learn, enjoyment of the responsibilities that the position entails. of interviews, and interviewers, so different social behaviors may be required in each case. For example, the kinds of quesâ€" tions asked will depend on: the level of training and competence required for the job; whether or not it is the applicant‘s first job; whether the applicant has been out of work for a while; statements made by the applicant early in an interview which can influence the questions asked later by the interâ€" viewer; the interests and idiosynâ€" crasies of the interviewer. If, on the other hand, one has had 25 previous jobs, then we have to "TAh:ChPS includes tax While there are tremendous variâ€" ations in the questions that will be asked, most interviewers are lookâ€" ing for the same things: enthusiasm, jobâ€"related competencies, social skills, leadership, independence, motivation, ambition, and of course, a good track record in previous jobs. In many of these situations, the job interview can be difficult, and the questions relevant to a given person‘s situation must be anticipatâ€" ed and rehearsed. The task becomes even more difficult if there is some "red flag" in the applicant‘s past, such as being fired, a history of delinquency, a previous crime, retardation, and so on. Next, we will describe the speâ€" cific interviewing skills that are known to improve an applicant‘s chances of getting the job. prepare carefully the explanation for changing jobs so much, so the interviewer doesn‘t think you can‘t get along, can‘t accept supervision, or otherwise, can‘t hold a job. If you haven‘t been working for 10 years, one must anticipate the quesâ€" tion of why, and whether jobâ€"related skills or interests have diminished during that time. It is the applicant‘s responsibility to cover each of these areas during the interview â€" directly or indirectly â€" so that a positive "answer" is given in each area. This means that the applicant must do more than simply answer questions. (S)he must ask questions, act interested and enthusiastic, initiate topics of conversation to ensure that imporâ€" tant experiences come out, display an ease in getting along with peoâ€" ple, show a willingness to learn and to go that extra mile. Jobâ€"interview training has been conducted for a wide variety of peoâ€" ple. First and foremost, it is for anyâ€" one who is repeatedly unsuccessful at getting the job. In addition, it has been used for students finishing up their education and about to go on the jobâ€"market; chronically unemâ€" ployed people; people experiencing a career change; people who have been doing something else for a while and want to reâ€"enter the job market after a lengthy absence.
