![We know the feeling.
You’ve been applying to countless employers. Been to many interviews.
But, no one seems to be calling you back with an offer. So what gives?
Make sure you don’t miss out doing these three simple things at your job interview.
Click here to read how to prepare a great resume to use in your interviews.
1. Stay on target
Make sure everything that you tell the interviewer is relevant to making his/her decision to choose you for the job.
DON’T : Tell your whole life story from primary school to secondary school and how you demonstrated responsibility as Chess club president (no offense to our readers who used to be in chess club. You guys are cool).
DO : Tell the employer how you heard of their institution. Tell them about what made you want to be a nurse prior to nursing school. Tell them what you’re passionate about, and how you will use what you learnt in nursing school (or your previous nurse postings) to better serve your employer.
2. Ask questions
Remember, interviews are like a two-way street. Communication goes both ways! Whenever interviewers ask you, “Do you have any questions?” please do not keep quiet. It demonstrates a lack of interest to the job.
Show them that you’re excited for the job by prodding the interviewer some questions. Here are some examples for you:
When is the soonest I can hear from you?
Is this job vacancy meant to replace someone who left, or is it a new position?
What will be expected of me in my first month?
How can I contact you if I have more questions?
You could also flip the questions they ask you back to them too. Like,
What did you mean by, [insert whatever interviewer asked]
A little effort makes a world of a difference.
3. Send a follow-up thank you email
After you leave the interview, show that you’re committed to getting the job even without a confirmed answer. Send a short thank you email (you’ll have their contact info if you asked questions earlier).
Say that you’re grateful to be allowed to come for the interview, and that you’re looking forward to a favorable reply. Remind them that you’ll be available to be contacted for more information that will help them make a decision for hiring.
BONUS TIP : Send it within a day of leaving the interview for maximum effect.
