Preparation for an interview

One of the basic differences between applicants could be the level of their preparedness for the interview.

The following basic employer related information is required for the preparation:

  • What nationality is the company?

  • Is it a group of companies, or a subsidiary?
  • What is the company’s profile?
  • What services they provide?
  • Which sector it operates in, who are its major customers, partners and competitors?
  • It may be useful to search the internet and the printed media for any news or reports on the company, and its plans for the future
  • It is important to review the company’s home page before the interview

Besides obtaining information about the company, it is also important to be familiar with the job offered.

  • what type of professional is it looking for?
  • what are the primary duties?
  • where is the place of work?

One of the cornerstones of the interview is the candidate’s introduction. Think through what is the foundation of your career and what should be mentioned during the interview.
