How to Succeed at Interviews

The aim of a job interview is to establish whether you are likely to do well in a particular job in a specific organization. This is not only a matter of having the necessary technical knowledge and skills. You must also have the motivation, the ability to adapt to new ways of working and to a new work environment, and the personality to do the job and fit into a new team.(Example) I .These include getting on with people, oral and written communication, team working, problem solving and good time management.

Most people think that interviewers know what they are looking for and will recognize it when they see it. (8) this applies to recruiters as much as anyone else. In fact, a former head of selection at one big form used to say that “some interviewers are so poor they would do better to rely on chance”.

In companies, which recognize this, various methods are used to try to find the right person.

(9) . Research has shown that this approach is more reliable than the ordinary job interview, though not as effective as using personality tests or assessment centers.

In a structured interview the interviewer groups the qualities listed in the job specification under various headings. There are two will-established structures for this: the National Institute of Industrial Psychology’s Seven-Point Plan and the Five Fold Grading System.
