The interview can be a nerve-racking part of the job application process. For those who might consider themselves timid, looking into the eyes of potential employers or co-workers can make them feel anxious. Staffing expert and businessman Steve Sorensen shares some tips that will allow applicants to prepare for this critical stage in the hiring process.

Create a script: Of course, this doesn’t have to be a very detailed script. For those who are often at a loss for words, listing down the possible questions and their answers will condition their mind to have a quick response when these points come up during the actual interview. Practicing greetings, introductions, and answers to common interview questions at least a day before the meeting will allow applicants to face the interviewer or the panel confidently.

Review the resume or CV: Some job seekers randomly send out their resumes or CVs without updating it. During the interview, the applicant will be asked a lot about their education, past working experiences, skills, training, and even their extracurricular activities. Some of the details might have been forgotten so it’s best to review these documents before facing the interviewer. One must also remember to be honest about achievements and skills even on paper.

Research about the company: According to Steve Sorensen, many applicants end up failing their interview because they were unable to answer questions related to the company they are applying for. It always helps to know the background of the company, its primary business, along with its mission and vision. Reading up on these things will allow an interviewer to have a straight answer when interviewers ask why they think they could be a good match for the company.
