How to Sell Yourself in an Interview

An interview is your chance to show what you can do and also let employers know about your unique personality. You will be able to sell yourself and give yourself the best possible chance of getting the job. Here are some ways to make sure you show yourself off to your full potential in an interview:

  • Be friendly and personable. A potential employer needs to know that you will fit in with the existing team. Show that you are a people person.
  • Prepare for the interview. The interviewer will be impressed with your company knowledge and will be pleased that you have carried out plenty of research.
  • Ask questions. This will make you look genuinely interested in the role. Don’t ask generic questions – ask the questions that occur to you throughout the interview, as well as the questions you have formulated beforehand that show your knowledge and passion for the role and the field.

Planning for an Interview – What you Should Know

If you’ve got an interview for a new job, congratulations. This is a very exciting time, though of course, the interview itself is still to come. Nobody can ever be quite sure what an interviewer is going to ask when you go in to talk to them. However, you can put in some good preparation beforehand. Here are some of the things you should know when you go into the interview:

  • Who is interviewing you? You should know the name of the person to ask for when you arrive, so look them up on LinkedIn and learn a little bit about them.
  • The company’s background. They will want to see that you are interested in the company and where it has come from.
  • The role. Do your research around the role and see if you can find out as much as you can about what you might be doing at work.
