Interviewing Tips
90% of hires are based solely upon the interview according to a Harvard Business Review study. In fact, 63% of hiring decisions are made within the first 4.3 minutes of an interview (courtesy SHRM). So, the interview is probably the most important part of the hiring process.
Think of the job interview as a mutual exchange of information. For the candidate it provides an opportunity to both gain information about the company & position, as well as to discuss his/her own skills and career goals in relation to the job. For the hiring manager it helps them determine three things before they make a hiring decision: Can you do the job? Are you motivated to do the job? Are you a good fit in the organization? Preparation and follow-up are key components to the interviewing process. Use the links below for helpful tips and pointers to help you navigate your way.
