转 怎样取得面试的成功：You are the best person to market yourself!
You will have to become a salesperson - ie. believe in your skills and your ability to do the job, then convince the employer of that - in order to sell yourself in the employment market. Most job searches are either conducted from a "here I am" and "this is what I want" perspective, or you’re so nervous you have trouble talking about yourself. However, the reality is that most employers, while interested in your wants and needs and keen to “make a match”, and understand that you may be nervous, really want to hear about how you can demonstrate that you can provide what they want. They care about what you can do for them. And they care about what they can do for you and your career. But generally, it is only after you have first shown what you can do for them that they will begin to focus on what they can do for you in return.Therefore, learn to market yourself, your skills, achievements, successes and experiences. Market what you, rather than somebody else, has to offer. Your knowledge, experiences, attitude and personal qualities are unique. Present them in a confident and positive way.
To market yourself effectively you must know yourself and why you are looking for employment.
· Know your goals, both long and short term
· Understand why you are looking for employment
· Know what sort of work you are looking for, type of role, contract / permanent work
· Be able to describe your achievements
· Demonstrate how you are able to motivate and work within a team or independently
· Establish that you have the capacity to deliver the results the organisation is seeking
· Demonstrate that you are able to manage different tasks and responsibilities within the job
· Illustrate by example how you are able to respond to problems, conflicts and changes that may occur in the workplace
· Express that you are open to new ideas and knowledge and applying these to your workplace
· Demonstrate that you are able to generate ideas, collect information, analyse information and work independently
· Be able to effectively clarify your appropriate and recent workplace skills and experiences relevant to the particular job you are applying for, in particular -
Know the organisation:
· You must know their goals and business drivers
· Know their expectations of you
· Know their recruitment methods - how they recruit, where and when they recruit, their processes
Have some knowledge about the company their services/products and why you want to work for them. Do your research.
Most people go into an interview ready to present their skills. To be successful in your interview you must mirror, as closely as you can, the characteristics, qualities, skills and experiences the organisation is looking for. You must learn to effectively market yourself to an employer in a way that the employer wants to see you. But importantly, be yourself. It’s in your best interests to be your own person with your own personality – presented in a positive way. If you try to be somebody you’re not because you think that’s what the employer is looking for, and you get the job, chances are you won’t be happy in the role, because you won’t be able to be yourself. And the company will wonder who they’ve hired, because it isn’t the person who was at the interview! Exceed the employer's expectations.
