Recap and Conclusion About Job Interviews

                In my previous blog posts, I mentioned that a job interview is a face to face interview between an interviewer and an interviewee who applied to a specific job position. It is a professional way to evaluate the interviewee and to see if he/she is suitable for the position applied for. It also requires a lot of preparation from the interviewee so that he/she has a good chance of getting the position desired.

                I also went over the importance of the first five minutes of a job interview and how they can affect the rest of the interview. There are lots of things that come the interviewee thinks of as he/she steps into the interview room which can make this person nervous. The first five minutes of an interview will also be the first impression that the interviewer will get about the interviewee which is very important.

                As an interviewee, you should do a few things during the first five minutes of an interview such as introducing yourself clearly to the interviewer, adapting quickly to the new environment and situation you are in, and talking about your strengths and skills. You need to be confident and do eye contact, remember that this is a bad time to feel nervous.

                Furthermore, you should avoid doing a few things in order to ensure you have a better interview. You need to avoid wearing casual clothes to such a professional interview. You should also avoid swearing, making jokes, and talking too much.

                In conclusion, I think that the first five minutes of an interview are important and can be considered as the first impression that the interviewer gets about you. Because of that, I think that interviewees need to focus on these five minutes by following the points described above and in my previous blog posts. If you follow the points I mentioned, you should end up with a great job interview and hopefully the job you applied for.
