Attending an Interview
If you are invited to attend an interview, it means that you have preliminarily met the requirements of the company and the post. You should make good use of the chance, get well prepared and demonstrate your strengths as far as possible to convince the interviewer that you are the most suitable candidate. Common modes of interview are as follows:
Preparation for an Interview
- Gather information about the post and the organisation, such as job nature and requirements, development and outlook of the trade
- Assess your own personality, ability, strengths and weaknesses with regard to the requirements of the post. Be prepared to market your strengths and show your potentials for improvements while answering the interviewers' questions
- Practise relevant skills related to the post you apply for, e.g. Chinese and English typing, computer software application
- Plan the route and find out the traffic condition of the place of interview beforehand (arrive preferably 15 minutes before the scheduled time to give yourself sufficient time to settle down and get ready for the interview)
- Get ready important documents like proof of academic qualifications and work history and organise them systematically
- Dress code should match the applied post and the culture of the company
Frequently Asked Questions During Interviews
Don't be discouraged even if you are not offered a job after an interview. Each interview is a valuable experience and a chance to learn. We should conduct a self-evaluation after each interview. By doing this, we can improve and prepare ourselves better for the coming interviews.
