It&#8217;s your favorite sector, a company you connect with, and a position you\u2019ve always wanted. They\u2019ve finally noticed your profile and given you an interview. But, even though you have the skills, the experience, and the knowledge necessary to be successful in the job, just thinking about <strong>sitting down face to face with the person who will decide whether or not you\u2019re worth hiring<\/strong> makes your palms start to sweat.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Job interviews: 3 keys to prepare for \u201cD Day\u201d<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CNsSjU3ITI1\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Lassi Albin<\/strong><\/a>, a member of IESE\u2019s Executive Coaching Team, there are three main parts to managing any professional career:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Discovering <strong>what you want to do<\/strong> and what you&#8217;re good at.<\/li>\n<li>Seeking out the <strong>training you need<\/strong> and a job that fits your aspirations.<\/li>\n<li>Making it through <strong>the interview<\/strong> and hiring process.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The third point is really <strong>the cherry on top<\/strong> of this whole process, but we often give it less attention than it deserves.<\/p>\n<p>There are many factors in a hiring process that will always be out of your control, but if you want to bring your full potential to your next interview, there&#8217;s just one recipe you need to follow: <strong>preparation<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><span class=\"subrat\">1.<\/span><\/strong><strong> Get informed<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Find as much information as you can about the company and the interview. Try to figure out who is going to interview you, their profiles, when it will happen, the parts and tests that will be included, what you\u2019ll have to demonstrate, the values of the company, its mission, its short- and long-term goals, the previous-year results, etc. Everything you learn beforehand will give you an <strong>advantage<\/strong> on the day of the interview.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><span class=\"subrat\">2.<\/span><\/strong><strong> Take care with your appearance and your setting<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Whether your interview is online or in person, psychologically <strong>the image you convey is fundamental<\/strong>. Dress in the same style as the person who is going to interview you, figure out a way to determine what that will be, and organize your clothes a few days ahead of time to reduce the stress of getting ready.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re doing the interview from home, make sure your setting looks clean and orderly. Choose a real background rather than a virtual one \u2013 which could result in more technical issues \u2013 and make sure you&#8217;re in a safe, calm, and silent spot with good lighting and a stable Internet connection.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><span class=\"subrat\">3.<\/span><\/strong><strong> Monitor your body language<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>There are other aspects of our communication that we sometimes don&#8217;t take into account but that are <strong>worth practicing<\/strong> because of the strong impact they end up having on the interviewer:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>First, try to maintain <strong>eye contact<\/strong> with the person you\u2019re talking to at all times and show that you\u2019re paying attention.<\/li>\n<li>Don\u2019t <strong>interrupt<\/strong> your interviewer, which can be rather easy to do in virtual conversations and is quite annoying. When they finish speaking, leave a brief silence before you begin.<\/li>\n<li>When you\u2019re in an online interview, don\u2019t have <strong>papers with notes on your desk<\/strong>. If you need to have written information to remember data, use post-its around your screen camera so you won\u2019t have to look away.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"clearboth\"><\/div><style>#thegem-divider-69d2d23f53fd2 {margin-top: 50px !important;}<\/style><div id=\"thegem-divider-69d2d23f53fd2\" class=\"gem-divider  \" style=\"\" ><\/div>[vc_single_image image=&#8221;5069&#8243; img_size=&#8221;large&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;]<div class=\"clearboth\"><\/div><style>#thegem-divider-69d2d23f5401a {margin-top: 50px !important;}<\/style><div id=\"thegem-divider-69d2d23f5401a\" class=\"gem-divider  \" style=\"\" ><\/div>[vc_column_text css_animation=&#8221;bottom-to-top&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2>The 6 most common job interview questions and how to answer them<\/h2>\n<p>What do you know about this company? Why do you think you\u2019re the ideal candidate? Why are you interested in this position? There are countless questions that can come up in a job interview and there&#8217;s no way you can anticipate all of them. But some of them are <strong>particularly common<\/strong> \u2013 and sometimes complicated \u2013 and those you can prepare and rehearse for ahead of time.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><span class=\"subrat\">1.<\/span><\/strong><strong> The star question: Tell me about yourself<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>This is usually one of the first questions that comes up in a job interview, since it helps break the ice and <strong>lets your interviewer get to know you<\/strong> a little better.<\/p>\n<h4>What not to do?<\/h4>\n<p>Don\u2019t go through your CV line by line. The company has already seen your profile and they&#8217;ve called you because they\u2019re interested, so it&#8217;s not the time to recite a list, but instead to <strong>introduce yourself<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h4>How to answer?<\/h4>\n<p>The best option is to approach the answer like an <strong>inspirational story<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Summarize your life with <strong>personal touches<\/strong> and highlight the most important steps you\u2019ve taken: where you\u2019ve lived, why you chose your specialty, or why you started working where you did.<\/li>\n<li>Add some details about the <strong>most important positions<\/strong> you&#8217;ve had in your career and a few achievements that fit the requirements of the job you&#8217;re trying to get.<\/li>\n<li>End by saying that these are your skills, this is your experience, and that\u2019s why you\u2019re here: because you believe you are a <strong>good fit<\/strong> for this job and this company. This will give your answer more consistency.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you\u2019re still feeling uncertain, <strong>record yourself<\/strong> practicing this answer. It&#8217;s the story of your life and nobody knows it better than you.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><span class=\"subrat\">2.<\/span><\/strong><strong> The trick question: Your weaknesses<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Before you answer, consider why your interviewer is asking you this question. They\u2019re probably not interested in your specific weaknesses, but rather in making sure <strong>you can be open, honest and sincere<\/strong> in this conversation, whether you have something to hide, and if you are comfortable with who you are in all aspects of your personality.<\/p>\n<h4>What not to do?<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>What you should never do is say that <strong>you don&#8217;t have any weaknesses<\/strong> or that you can\u2019t think of any, because this will make it seem like you haven\u2019t prepared properly.<\/li>\n<li>Don\u2019t try to <strong>camouflage a weakness as a strength<\/strong>, like saying that you&#8217;re very \u201cdetail oriented.\u201d That\u2019ll make it seem like you\u2019re just trying to look good, when what the company is trying to see is whether you\u2019re human.<\/li>\n<li>Try not to highlight <strong>any of the key skills for the position<\/strong> as a weakness; it\u2019s better to choose ones that don\u2019t work against you. And don\u2019t make an endless list of everything you can think of to try to come off as very transparent.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>How to answer?<\/h4>\n<p>The most effective thing to do is <strong>choose one or two weaknesses<\/strong> and explain them well:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Describe each one and give it <strong>context<\/strong>: where it happens, when, and what consequences it has on your job.<\/li>\n<li>Explain what you are doing to <strong>overcome<\/strong> it and what results you\u2019re seeing.<\/li>\n<li>Be clear that, despite your efforts, you still have a long way to go to continue <strong>improving<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong><span class=\"subrat\">3.<\/span><\/strong><strong> The uncomfortable question: Your salary expectations<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Never go into an interview without first <strong>knowing the market and the value<\/strong> that your profile has in that specific position and in that sector. These days there are a wide range of tools to help you figure it out, but if you need to you can also contact people who work at that company.<\/p>\n<h4>What not to do?<\/h4>\n<p>From the outset, <strong>try to avoid the question<\/strong> in the first rounds of the hiring process. How?<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Make it clear that you\u2019re a good fit for the company, you\u2019re interested in the position, and you connect with the company\u2019s values, but say that you <strong>still need to learn more<\/strong> about the project, the team, and the responsibilities you\u2019ll have.<\/li>\n<li>Explain that you\u2019ll be in a better position to give <strong>an exact figure<\/strong> in the later stages.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>How to answer?<\/h4>\n<p>When the time comes, <strong>avoid<\/strong> giving a salary range:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>If you suggest a range, you already know where the company will come down: they\u2019ll only hear the lower number and you\u2019ll be <strong>disappointed<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>To suggest a specific number, think about <strong>a salary you\u2019d like to earn<\/strong> and then add between 5% and 10%.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong><span class=\"subrat\">4.<\/span><\/strong><strong> The practical question: Why are you interested in this position?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>If you are applying for a position with the idea that in two or three years you\u2019ll try for a promotion, <strong>you may be at a disadvantage<\/strong> compared to candidates who are truly passionate about the job.<\/p>\n<p>You don\u2019t want to give off the impression that this is a mere formality in your professional career, so consider that if you want this job at this point in your career, it&#8217;s because you need to learn something from this new experience, so it\u2019s <strong>the best place you can be<\/strong> today to get to the next level.<\/p>\n<p>If you need some help clarifying your motivations, we have an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.iese.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Why-you-want-this-job.docx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>exercise that could be of assistance<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><span class=\"subrat\">5.<\/span><\/strong><strong> The open question: Do you have any question for us?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>This question usually comes near the end of the conversation, when you&#8217;ve had some time to size up the person you\u2019re talking to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>If they&#8217;re someone who likes to talk, <strong>ask them about their own experience<\/strong>: \u201cwhy you came to this company\u201d or \u201cwhat you like most about working here\u201d will give you a more qualitative perspective on the company and will help you create a good connection with your interviewer.<\/li>\n<li>On the other hand, if they&#8217;re someone who is analytical or introverted, <strong>ask more practical questions<\/strong>. If you\u2019re drawing a blank, here are some ideas:\n<ul>\n<li>Why is this position open?<\/li>\n<li>How will my performance be evaluated?<\/li>\n<li>What do you expect the person in this position to achieve in the first six months?<\/li>\n<li>What are the company\u2019s goals for the next five years?<\/li>\n<li>What is the onboarding process for new employees?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong><span class=\"subrat\">6.<\/span><\/strong><strong> The unexpected question: When you draw a blank<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>No matter how much you practice, it sometimes happens. You draw a blank at the most unexpected moment, searching for information in your mind that won\u2019t appear or simply with <strong>no idea what to say<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The best thing you can do in these cases is to <strong>take a brief pause and a deep breath<\/strong>. Don\u2019t fill the silence with the first thing that pops into your head. Taking a moment to think for five or 10 seconds is perfect. Use that time to build a short and schematic answer.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Understand and manage your worse enemy in a job interview: Nerves<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Whether you\u2019re an executive or entry level, chances are that all the job interviews you do in your career will be marked by nervousness. Why?<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>According to <strong>Lassi Albin<\/strong>, although we change jobs more often these days, \u201cwe&#8217;re not used to <strong>exposing ourselves<\/strong> to the pressure and emotions that come with an interview.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Plus, there\u2019s so much at stake: it\u2019s not just about getting a job, but inevitably affects <strong>much deeper and personal aspects<\/strong> like our family, security, stability, lifestyle, or identity.<\/li>\n<li>Finally, it&#8217;s a situation that <strong>always happens live and in person<\/strong>, with so many variables that you\u2019ll never be able to rehearse for 100%.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Now that you know the source of your nerves and that it&#8217;s completely normal, you can practice <strong>some strategies for being a bit calmer<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Consider that the person who called you for the interview <strong>chose you over other people<\/strong>. You\u2019re there because they want you, and for the value you can add.<\/li>\n<li>If it&#8217;s the most important moment in your career, <strong>practice the route you\u2019ll take to get to the company before you go<\/strong>. Familiarize yourself with the setting and the entrances to avoid that added nervousness the day of the interview.<\/li>\n<li>Don&#8217;t wait until the last minute to practice; <strong>take your time to prepare in order to calm your nerves.<\/strong> Doing exercise and eating light and healthy meals on the day can help you feel more comfortable.<\/li>\n<li>Talk before the interview so that you arrive <strong>in a more relaxed and communicative mood<\/strong>. Chat with the person at reception, someone you pass in the hallway&#8230;whatever it takes to avoid that half hour of solitude, anxiety, and silence in a waiting room.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In <a href=\"https:\/\/www.iese.edu\/programs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>IESE\u2019s executive programs<\/strong><\/a> you\u2019ll build your strengths as a leader and perfect all the steps necessary to successfully tackle your next professional goal. Mind you, you\u2019ll have to get through an interview to do so.
