Tip of the Week
by Dianne Gubin
Nailing the Second Job Interview
Companies are scrutinizing potential candidates more closely than ever. Often the interview process is initiated with a phone screening, followed by an invitation to interview in person. It's not unusual today for a candidate to then be brought back for a second round of interviews.
Second interviews are opportunities to confirm a technical and personality match before making a hiring decision.
Here are five tips to move from second interview to offer:
1) Wear the consultant hat. What are the key challenges of the role? Focus the interview on how you can make both the hiring manager and the company more successful.
2) Be low maintenance. Stress punctuality, attention to detail, eagerness to lean and appreciation for the opportunity.
3) Watch that what you say you do best is congruent with the requirements of the position. It's easy to talk hiring managers out of hiring you.
4) Ask for the job. Companies need to hear verbally that a candidate is interested in their position.
5) Think about moving in. If not brought up earlier, ask questions about the physical location in which you will be working. For example, if appropriate, ask for a tour or ask to see where your desk will be.
Interviewing is a learned skill. Tech Exec Partners is committed to your success. We know that it's a tough job market and we want to help you.
