Let’s start with some tips on how to prepare your first job interview:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

1 – The first thing you should do is<\/span> find out as much information as you can about the company.<\/b> Find out information about the products or services they offer, their brand values, the requirements for your job and the position held by the person who will interview you. Nothing that you can’t easily find on their website or on the LinkedIn profiles of their employees.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

2 – <\/span>Prepare a personal presentation <\/b>that links the information you found in the previous point with your skills, abilities and beliefs. Explain why you are interested in the job and what you can contribute if you are selected.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

3 – Since this is your first job interview, you may not know it yet, but there are certain questions that are repeated over and over again. For example, what is your main shortcoming, what are your salary expectations or where would you like to see yourself in five years. <\/span>Tip: think about the answers you are going to give in advance so they don’t catch you by surprise.<\/b><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

4 – Whether it is a face-to-face interview or a video call, it is advisable to<\/span> practice with friends and family. <\/b>First of all because you may have very clear ideas in your head, but you must be able to verbalize them correctly and, secondly, because it is a good way to detect your areas for improvement.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

5 – There are people who think that, being your first job interview, it is impossible for you to provide references, but that is not exactly so. Your family members, <\/span>college professors and coaches<\/b> are not only there to give you advice or tips, they <\/span>can also validate your skills and strengths.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

6 – <\/span>Think of two or three questions to ask the interviewer<\/b>. It is quite common that, at the end of the interview, you will be asked if you have any questions. But it is not enough to ask the first question that comes to your mind, our tip is to use this moment to show your interest in the job or the company.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

7 – And finally, <\/span>make sure you know the location where the job interview will take place and the time you need to get there.<\/b> It is best to arrive ten or fifteen minutes early so as not to be delayed in case something unexpected happens.<\/span><\/p>\n
