By:,[object Object],Nurul Haniza Mohtar,[object Object],Nicholas Jeremy Francis,[object Object],Priscilla CHIN,[object Object],Topic 4:Job Interviews,[object Object]
Interviewing process,[object Object],Is a meeting of two people, face-to-face to accomplish a,[object Object],    known purpose by discussion (in this case to hire the right person for a certain position),[object Object],Asking the rights questions in the interview is good for getting the right kind of information.,[object Object],It is important to plan for the right questions,[object Object]
Four kinds of questions :,[object Object],Rapport-building questions (help put candidate at ease),[object Object],Open-ended questions (invite candidate to respond with a good deal of information),[object Object],Probing questions (asked when more specific/focused information is needed),[object Object],Non-question questions (make candidates more comfortable responding by asking with language that does not end in a question mark),[object Object],Interviewing process,[object Object]
Conducting the interview,[object Object],Shake interviewer’s hand ,[object Object],To show a strong impression, confidence and enthusiasm,[object Object],Qualities interviewers looking for include good communication skills, a neat and clean appearance, and a friendly and enthusiastic manner. ,[object Object],Interviewing process,[object Object]
	A good interviewer is trained to question every word you say. They're used to polished, text book answers. They want to know about the real you.,[object Object],	1. Make a list of the key characteristics and experience required for the role.,[object Object],	2. Think back over your career for specific examples of when you have demonstrated these.3. Be able to describe each example BRIEFLY.4. Make sure your examples are specific, not woolly.,[object Object]
Tough Question Strategy,[object Object],2 CHOICES:,[object Object],	Panic and give one of those "regret-it-later" answers,[object Object],	Employ the "tough question strategy" and give your best answer,[object Object],So what's the strategy? How do you answer tough interview questions?,[object Object]
1. Keep your cool,[object Object],2. Listen!,[object Object],3. It's ok to ask for time to think,[object Object],4. Emergency tactic,[object Object],5. Don't answer it,[object Object]
ILLEGAL QUESTIONS,[object Object],What classifies as an illegal question varies vastly between countries.As a general rule (particularly in the UK and North America), questions concerning marital status, sexual preferences, ethnic origin, health status or family plans aren't allowed. If the answer to a question could be used to discriminate against you on grounds other than your ability to perform in the role, then it shouldn't be asked.,[object Object]
ILLEGAL Job Question,[object Object],For example:,[object Object],	If asked whether or not you are married, you could be opening a can of worms by answering "yes" or "no". Whether you're married, single, living with a partner (same sex, opposite sex), it's none of the interviewer's business.So you could answer:"It's important to me to keep my work and personal life separate. Whether or not I'm in a long-term relationship isn't relevant to my career here at company XYZ.",[object Object]
WEAKNESSES – CRACK A JOKE,[object Object],"I'm easily bored, a bit sloppy and you wouldn't like to meet me on a morning before I've had a coffee - I'm an ogre!",[object Object]
Step 1: Interview Strengths And Weaknesses,[object Object],What would your manager miss about you? And what won't they miss? ,[object Object],Tell me about a time when a project / objective went badly. ,[object Object],What do you find most difficult / dislike the most about work?,[object Object]
Step 2: Prepare before the interview,[object Object],Think about your strengths.,[object Object],As for weaknesses, it's often better to think of them as "development areas", rather than "faults".,[object Object]
Step 3: Learn how to answer it,[object Object],Think of one of your "weaknesses". ,[object Object],What's the "positive side-effect" of that trait?,[object Object],Are there any "negatives" that you need to address? How do you perform despite this weakness? ,[object Object],How can you describe it so it sounds like a benefit to the employer?,[object Object]
ASKNG GOOD INTERVIEW QUESTIONS,[object Object],err... nope... I think we've covered everything.“,[object Object],To make a great final impression!!,[object Object]
Make your questions relevant, genuine and intelligent.Don't ask about something that doesn't interest you; it'll show in your body language,[object Object],What are the three things you most want to know about the job? About the team? Aboutthe company? What does your interviewer like most about working there? What would theychange? This is your chance!,[object Object]
Zero nerves strategy,[object Object],Step 1: Be Prepared,[object Object],Step 2: Act Confident,[object Object],Step 3: Ask For Help,[object Object]
Accept the JOB,[object Object],Do you really want to leave your current job?,[object Object],Do you really want THIS job?,[object Object],Do you need to know more?,[object Object],Do you want to negotiate over salary?,[object Object],How Do You Want To Accept The Job Offer?,[object Object]
NEGOTIATE YOUR SALARY,[object Object],Understand what's important to you about the job . will help you decide how far you're prepared to compromise.,[object Object],What's your current package? Include salary, bonuses, perks such as health care, paid overtime, relocation allowance, company car and holiday entitlement. Remember they can check this, so don't fib.,[object Object]
What is your "best outcome" package? Keep it realistic, but optimistic.,[object Object],What is your "minimum offer" position? ... below which you will reject the job offer?,[object Object],Once you know this, the salary negotiation call is simple. If you're feeling nervous, then practise with a friend or family member first.,[object Object]
Be prepared to reject the job offer, if the package doesn't meet your minimum requirements,[object Object]
Thank You,[object Object]
