The Key to Interview Success

The most important message to communicate is that you are genuinely interested in a long-term and rewarding career in that particular section of the organisation. You should keep abreast of developments within the industry and talk with people who are involved in your chosen field. You can also impress the interviewer with knowledge of his/her specific company – this will give you a great advantage over the competition and is the real key to interview success.

The information you need to impress an employer is not difficult to find. The Internet is an invaluable resource and most company websites contain annual reports, media releases, company history and information on the corporate culture and mission statement. If you do not have access to the Internet, then bigger companies will also have brochures of their products or services, available from the public/investor relations department, and Human Resources may be able to provide you with a recruitment package. Public libraries will have business directories and trade magazines with relevant articles.

Obtaining this type of information and using it wisely in interviews will give you the edge over other candidates and mark you out as an ambitious and insightful candidate with a real interest in the company.
