An interview can be tough especially if you have never been on one or you are feeling tense.
Coming up with the answers to different interview questions can be disheartening especially if the interviewer catches you off guard. It is always important to consult friends who have attended various interviews or do quick research on interview questions online before going for an interview.
Answering the question, 'What makes you unique?' can be tough because many interviewees are unaware of how to respond. The interviewers will ask this question to determine why they should hire you.
Make sure you answer grabs their attention by focusing on how you will benefit the company.
To ace the interview, the interviewers expect you to talk about your background and the things you did in the past that can be useful to the job at hand. State how you will use your skills to increase the productivity of the company. Do not forget to mention your job experience, what you learnt in past jobs and how you will incorporate them when offered the opportunity.
You can also mention the skills that are not in your CV but can be of help to the company. Having more relevant skills will put you ahead of the other applicants. State how these skills will help you out in your new role. To win the interviewers attention, you can give examples of how your skills helped your former employer's company flourish.
Pointing out your key personality traits such as 'being calm and composed when under pressure' will earn you more points compared to other applicants who fail to state their personality traits. Go ahead and state how your personality traits helped you in benefiting the previous company and how they will boost the new company.
