Interview Tips
One of the most
important job interview tips for seniors is confidence, including in what you
have to offer your potential employer. If you feel confident, it will show in
your answers and your overall demeanor. Don't let insecurity result in timid
body language and tentative answers.
Whether it's been a
day or a decade since your last job interview, it's always a good idea to
practice your interviewing skills. Participate in a mock interview to prepare
for thinking on your feet and formulating answers under pressure. "Tell me
about yourself" is a common question companies use to start off an
interview, and it can be difficult to condense a lifetime of experience into a
short description. Practice helps you create the perfect summary of your
qualifications. Determine the experiences and accomplishments that are most
relevant to the position, so you can focus on them during the interview.
While discrimination
laws make it illegal for an interviewer to ask your age, related questions,
often discreet, may arise. Overlooking the inappropriateness of the question
and answer honestly is an option, but a more useful method is to answer the
question's intent. For instance, a question about family commitments can be
answered by reaffirming your dedication to work
Additional
Preparations
Research the company.
In addition to learning more about your potential employer, research will allow
you to ask intelligent questions and tailor your responses to the company's
needs. The company's Web site is a great source of information as are annual
reports.
Dress appropriately
for the interview and be well-groomed. Invest in new clothing for your job
search and avoid emphasizing your age by wearing an old-fashioned suit or
dress.
Arrive on time.
Treat everyone you
encounter with friendliness
and respect. If you are
rude to the receptionist,
it's likely to get back to
the interviewing committee.
Send a thank-you note
after the interview.
Conclusion
When companies
interview you, in a sense, you're also interviewing them. You must decide if
this particular workplace is right for you. If you get the feeling your
talents, enthusiasm, and experience won't be appreciated, move on to the next
potential employer.
They
found a JOB!!!!
