Analyze the job description

First, go back to the job advertisement and read the description again. Pay attention to desired keywords and requirements and try to think of your positive points that meet the company's demand.

At the same time, re-reading the description can help you avoid making mistakes. For example: getting the name of the company or job opening wrong.

Finally, think about possible questions that can be asked based on the information given in the description. Preparing for various scenarios can help you at this time.

Research the company

It's crucial to know the bare minimum about a company before going for a job interview! Therefore, look for the company's social networks and take a good look at the content.

You can also use websites like Reclame aqui or Glassdoor to find out more about the place that has open positions. These tend to present more sincere information than official networks.

In short, do extensive research to make sure you can answer any question about the company in the interview. Therefore, you will not go through any problems.

Review the most frequently asked interview questions

Preparing for some of the most frequently asked questions in job interviews helps you avoid having problems and taking too long to answer the questions. So, do a little rehearsal before leaving home.

Some of the main questions are:

  • How did you find the position?
  • Why were you interested in the company?
  • Why did you leave your previous job?
  • Talk about your experience.
  • Talk about your positives and negatives.

Having all these answers on the tip of your tongue makes it easier not to make mistakes! So, be prepared and be quick and direct in your answers.

Simulate interviews 

Ask your friends or family for help and simulate a job interview. Therefore, it is possible to find the moments when it is necessary to pay more attention and prepare better.

Finally, take advantage of the situation to ask for feedback and find out where you can become even better. A rehearsal may be the best way to achieve perfection.

Choose the appropriate clothing

Do some research on company standards. Does the location allow more relaxed clothing? Or is it necessary to be more formal? You can look at photos of company events to get the answers to these questions.

Then, prepare clothes that will not clash with the level of employees in this company. Try to dress how most people in the company dress. But always present yourself in a tidy way to make a good impression.

Control your nervousness

Nervousness can make you lose all your previous preparation at the time of the job interview. Therefore, take a deep breath and avoid agitation the day you go through this process.

Your body language and tone of voice will convey confidence if you control your nervousness. This way, you can catch the attention of recruiters and give the impression of being experienced and prepared.

Print the CV

How about a positive surprise in your job interview? Having a printed CV can help you at this time.

If possible, take more than one copy with you. Therefore, it is possible to distribute the document to everyone in the environment.

Attend the interview at the scheduled time

Finally, it is very important to show up at the scheduled time! Candidates who are late at the job interview give the impression of carelessness and lack of interest in the vacancy.

Therefore, leave home early and plan your journey to the interview location well. At the same time, eat light foods to avoid unexpected problems!

And if you're looking for a quick reinsertion into the market, how about boosting your CV with courses? Check out our full article on this topic below.
