JOB ORAL INTERVIEW TIPS
You have been invited for an interview, and you are in cloud nine. You were
able to pass the written test despite the array of intimidating fellow
applicants. One more major river to cross
After the euphoria has died down, first and foremost, read the letter again, and
note the salient points. Make sure that you have everything they are asking for
(e.g. originals of certificates, or original of “To Whom It May Concern”, if you
are yet to get your certificate.

Then find out as much as you can, about the company. You can use your network to
link up with someone who works there, who will give you information about the
company, and the position you are to be interviewed for.
Keep it at the back of your mind your employer has a need, which is why there is
a vacancy in the first place. He is looking for someone to meet that need, to
fill that vacancy or void.

You have to be convinced that you are the person he
is looking for. If you exude that confidence, the panel will pick it, and you
are in business. If you are jittery and not sure of yourself, you will fall be
the wayside.
So find out what the job is about, what the need is. Then come up with a
solution. Become an asset. The background information you garner about the
company will stand you in good stead in proffering solutions, and discussing the
company knowledgeably.
Before applying for the position, you would have made sure that you are suitably
qualified for the post.
Dress smartly and corporately for the interview. Dress formally. Don’t
overdress, or wear something that is uncomfortable which causes you to fidget
and shift in your seat. Be well prepared, with your credentials intact. As you
come in, greet the members of the panel courteously, and wait to be shown to
your seat. Don’t be too forward.
