If you want to succeed in your job interview (and who doesn’t?), it’s good to understand the perspective of the interviewer. What is he or she expecting from the candidate? What kinds of actions can kill the interview?
The folks at Boost Your Career With LinkedIn offer some excellent advice on preparing for an interview, based on common complaints from recruiters. Knowinging — and avoiding — these pitfalls will help you make a positive impression.
Thanks to Alexandra at Water Cooler Wisdom for introducing me to InterviewTrue.
This is an online service that allows people to practice their interviewing skills. You can pick from more than 1,000 common interview questions. An interviewer appears on screen and you answer the questions just as if you were in an interview session. You can then review and critique your interview style. And if you’re really brave, you can share it with friends, family, and associates to get valuable feedback and coaching.
The price is very reasonable: 6 months unlimited access for $19.95. You will need a computer equipped with a web cam, a microphone, and Internet Explorer (not Mac or Firefox friendly). I have not tried it yet, so I’d love to hear from someone who has. If you try it, let me know how you like it.
