Selection interview with an employer

Selection interview with an employer

We were sent your job application, resume and other documents required by the employer, and you have been invited to a selection interview.

Such an interview is not a usual activity, and there is no wonder that it makes us feel apprehensive, anxious and we desire to be through the whole competition and, if possible, successfully.

An invitation to the selection interview is pleasing due to the fact that your documents caught the attention of the employer, and so you have a chance to be the right person, who is sought and needed.

Do not worry, competitions and interviews are not conducted by the people who spend their working time on embarrassing, humiliating, or ridiculing candidates for the job.

The committees consist of people who necessarily need to make the right personnel decisions for their company. They do not want the company to spend more money on re-publication, competition and repetitive training of new workers.

It is up to you to try to convince the committee that you are the most suitable candidate and the right worker. But not to make it easier, everyone else will try to do the same.

During the interview, you have the opportunity to offer your knowledge and skills, but also yourself as a personality. However, avoid presenting yourself as a personality that has nothing to do with you. An experienced recruiter then certainly realises that you are not relaxed and that you only pretend a lot and his/her final decision will probably not be in your favour.
