The interview process is a difficult one. If you're lucky,
you'll get an hour to make the best first impression possible and prove you're
the best candidate for the job. During that time, there are plenty of ways
where things can go wrong.
We've got plenty of interviewing experience, so rest assured
our employment
agency in Albany, OR can fill you in on some of the most common
mistakes job seekers like you make during your time to shine.
1. Mobile Device Usage
Your phone can end up being your biggest enemy during an
interview. Mute your phone, turn it off or leave it in the car if you know
you're prone to putting more focus on your mobile device than you do the world
around you. Showing you can focus on the interview will work in your favor.
2. Not Asking the Right Questions or Not Asking Any
As your interview comes to a close, it's common for your
interviewer to switch it up and ask if their interviewee has any questions for
them. It's important that you take this chance. It will show you're interested
in preparing yourself for this position and that you want to know more about
the business and job you're trying to get hired for.
Make sure you don't ask anything that could be easily found
online. Those kinds of questions will make it seem like you haven’t done your research.
3. Pay Rate—Not Talking About It or Talking About It Too
Early
Pay rates can be a difficult subject to talk about and
finding the right time to bring it up can be quite hard. If you wait until your
potential employer brings the topic up, you risk putting yourself in a poor
position to negotiate. If you bring it up yourself and it's too early in the
interview, they may get the impression that you only care about the pay and not
the job itself.
The staffing
agency in Albany explains to come to your interview with at least a
general idea of what you would prefer to make to prepare for your interview. That
way if it comes up, you won't have to scramble to come up with something or
outwardly say you don't know. Not knowing will make you look unprepared and
unprofessional as well.
