      Oct 1, 2017

      My first boss was a bully. Just before I started working for him, a rumor circulated that he’d once thrown a desk out the window. Maybe the story was apocryphal, but it didn’t feel that way to those of us under his thumb. He would yell and curse. We

      Summary

      INTRODUCTION

      Job hunting is not a simple thing. It may seem easy at first sight but looking for a job is more like a job itself. It involves a lot of time and effort that you put into the process of finding a position that fits you; A workplace where you will be working for years. At least, that is what everybody says in the beginning.

      S

      ending tens, maybe even hundreds of resumes, depending on the field or areas you apply for, is complicated and time-consuming.

      Then comes the interview part. This crucial component that decides if you are the ONE for the job or not. Hiring someone can be quite a costly process, and therefore companies want to make sure they will employ a person with applicable knowledge, skills, abilities who will be working more time within their company and, at the same time, contribute to the business's success.

      You are looking for a new job, or you have just graduated, and you would like to get your first job; either way, you need to prepare yourself for the BIG interview that can land you into a position that fits you. Remember: the interview is a two-way street: not only the employer wants to make sure you are a good fit for his company, but you also want to know that working for his company will suit you too.

      It is not enough that you've gotten a call that a company wants to move forward in the hiring process by inviting you to an interview. That is good news! It means that you're a strong contender, and you are on the right track. However, for the next step, the interview part, you'll need to step up your game and ensure you are well prepared for the interview questions a recruiter will ask you. With all your skills, you can show them you have the right stuff.

      When applying for jobs, you must make sure your resume and cover letter are well written, up to date, the aim being to show that you are the best candidate for the job. It is understood that the recruitment process is about finding a candidate who is a good fit.

      Sure, when it comes to interviews, any job applicant is nervous. Interviews are nerve-wracking from start to finish. Sitting in a room next to strangers and answering their questions while everyone is staring at you could intimidate even the most experienced job seeker. You can never be sure enough that you won't be caught off-guard with hard-to-answer questions. But nothing to worry about: being well prepared for it will help you a great deal.

      Sometimes it might happen that you do not get the job offer after the interview. No matter how good you thought you were, how much effort and dedication you put into the process…

      In any case, don't feel discouraged! You know how it says:

      "It’s often the last key in the bunch that opens the lock."

      Five Things You Should Know Before The Interview Begins

      Everybody knows that it is essential to invest much time in preparing for an interview. But besides being well prepared for it, other elements can make it or break it. Very simple and basic things can go a long way when it comes to passing an interview successfully:

      Where the company is located and how long it takes to get there

      Do NOT be late for an interview. Ever. Find out exactly how to get there and how much time you need for the commute/drive. Make sure you considered any unfortunate incidents like a traffic jam, an accident, a bus breaking down, or simply not finding the exact interview location. Things can happen all the time, mainly when you
