Beyond trying to make yourself look good, this is also a great way to idenitfy if this is a company who’s values resonate with you.
Practice makes perfect
It would be naive to think every interviewer will ask the same questions. That said, there are certain questions that will almost certainly be asked. In understanding this – and practicing your responses accordingly – you can show up to your interviews with the utmost of confidence.
Back it up.
It’s practically mandatory in a job interview to do a bit of bragging. What most forget is to back this up. Instead of simply saying ‘I am a team player’, Be sure to include an example. ‘I am a team player, and this was clutch when 8 of us were required to work closely to get a key project finished on a tight timeline’.
Makes a difference, right?
Dress the part.
The sad truth: first impressions matter. This is where your research on Blue & Co. comes into play. Underdressing is never a good thing, but you also don’t want to overcompensate.
When in doubt, classic business casual is almost always a safe bet.
Confidence is key
Assuming you’ve rehearsed some answers ahead of time, It’s now time to impress! Speak clearly and deliberately giving concise, confident answers.
Pro tip: be sure to leave yourself plenty of time for travel and parking – don’t throw yourself off balance by being rushed!
Keep it honest
When under the gun, you may feel inclined to skirt around a tough question believing that this is in your best interest. Veteran HR members at Blue & Co. have heard it all. If you don’t believe you have relatable skills in one area, say so.
One workaround here can be to say ‘While I don’t have experience in that area, I feel experience I gained in this field could be similarly beneficial’.
Ask if you’re not sure
Some interviewees are afraid to ask the interviewer anything in fear of asking a ‘silly’ question. By asking questions you demonstrate initiative – a desirable at any company including the likes of Blue & Co..
Not surprisingly, you can really impress your interviewer with a few thoughtful questions regarding specifics about Blue & Co. as well as the role itself.
Close the deal
The interview starts to wind down and now it’s time to rely on gut instinct – how well do you think you did? Extend your arm for a handshake and close: ‘I believe in plain speaking and I think the interview went well – I’d also think I’d fit in great here at Blue & Co. – where do I stand as of now?’.
